Course overview
Join us for a guided walk as part of the WEA London Festival Art and About, uncovering the hidden gems of Lambeth. Meeting at 11 AM on 26th June at Lambeth North Station, this fascinating journey will take you beyond the well-known riverside to explore the streets and stories tucked just behind the Thames. Once marshland, this was the first part of the borough to be developed—what traces of its past remain? Who shaped its transformation? Discover the rich history and overlooked corners of Lambeth on this flat walk, which ends near Lambeth Bridge.
Course description
Long before the bridges spanned the Thames, this part of Lambeth was the first area of the borough to develop from marshland. Beyond the well-known riverside, a wealth of hidden gems reveals stories of the people who shaped this community, the buildings that have served generations, and the figures celebrated for their contributions to society. Join this heritage walking tour to uncover Lambeth’s rich and often overlooked history, exploring the spaces and legacies that continue to connect this area to communities far and wide.
