Filled with remarkable stories and hidden history, the experience explores the people, events, and cultural influences that have shaped this unique corner of the capital over the centuries.
The journey follows the footsteps of a diverse range of characters who once called Lambeth home, from poor street urchins and travelling pedlars to Tudor princes and influential figures such as poet and artist William Blake and legendary actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin. Through their stories, the tour reveals the area’s rich social, cultural, and artistic heritage.
Along the route, guests will discover impressive architectural landmarks, including the red-brick 16th-century gatehouse of Lambeth Palace and the beautifully detailed Doulton factory building.
