ambeth Bridge runs from Lambeth to Westminster.The first Lambeth Bridge was built in 1862. Prior to then river crossing at Lambeth was by ferry.
The present Lambeth Bridge was constructed over three years between 1929 and 1932, from concrete and steel. It was opened by King George V and Queen Mary.
Watch out for cockney sparrers doin' the Lambeth Walk, Oi! The Lambeth Walk was actually a local market but the name later became famous as the popular song and dance routine from the musical 'Me and My Girl'.
On the roundabout at the south end of the bridge is the Museum of Garden History, situated in the old 14th century church of St Mary-at-Lambeth.
