Lambeth is located in the heart of inner London, just south of the River Thames and is home to some of the world’s most iconic, modern landmarks. There is never a dull moment in Lambeth with plenty to see and do from exploring world-class attractions, such as the BA London Eye (www.londoneye.com) and London Aquarium (www.londonaquarium.co.uk/) or the South Bank complex (http://www.southbanklondon.com) on the river front, to its excellent parks, museums, leisure centres, libraries and restaurants. With so much to do and see, Lambeth is an ideal place to stay or live!


At 135m, The London Eye is the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel, opened in 2000. The London Eye is the UK’s most popular paid for visitor attraction, visited by over 3.5 million people a year. Passengers in the Eye's capsules see up to 40 kilometers in all directions on its 30min rotation. It is definitely a must see!

 The South Bank complex is a delightful riverside stretch following the River Thames. In walking distance to Covent Garden and Westminster it’s a great location for a relaxing stroll. The packed programme of theatre, exhibitions, music, film and free events means South Bank is an inspiring place to explore for all ages. For information on what’s on at the Southbank complex visit:
