Lambeth occupies a prime South London location close to some of the capital’s biggest attractions, but not so close it’s packed with tourists. It stretches from the Thames’ South Bank and ends just beyond the residential areas of Streatham and Norwood. Read on to discover developments that are the best places to live in Lambeth. In addition, read reviews from residents who own or rent in Lambeth.
HomeViews reviewer verdict…
“A south-of-the-river location with lots to offer.”

In its northern pocket, you can take a stroll along the waterside. Here you will discover big-hitters like the National Theatre, the Tate Modern, and the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. All of which are neighboured by a good mix of pubs and bars with a front-row view of the river. Lambeth Palace is another local star, a spectacular Medieval structure and the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Imperial War Museum also provides a lovely, moving day out; a fitting tribute to those affected by the past world’s conflicts.
There’s a hypnotising, cosmopolitan feel to these parts. Places like Stockwell and Kennington have a Latin flavour, their high streets packed with cutesy tapas joints and Portuguese establishments serving fresh seafood. Over in vivacious Brixton, the area’s Afro-Caribbean roots shine, with reggae bars playing exotic beats until late, and an amazing foodie scene that incorporates street stalls sizzling with specialities like jerk chicken and ackee and saltfish. Hootananny is a much-loved hostel-come-nightclub that works to showcase the area’s diversity, with events dedicated to everything from hip-hop to salsa. And we can’t talk about the area without mentioning 02 Academy Brixton, an award-winning venue for music, theatre and comedy.
Lambeth’s residential options are vast, ranging from swish riverfront apartments to elegant period townhouses. Whatever you’re after, expect easy access to London’s centre. Three tube stations – Lambeth North, Waterloo and Southwark – get residents from A to B via the Northern line.
HomeViews reviewer says…
“The location is central and very well connected within easy reach of much of Central London both on foot and via the tube. Traffic can be quite congested and slow, there is also a fair amount of noise from the streets.”
Transport links: the best. When you’re in the middle of London and you’ve suddenly had enough, you know you can be home with a cup of tea in 15 minutes because the tube links here are so good. Both Vauxhall (National Rail) and Clapham High St (Overground) are 10 mins’ walk or one tube stop away.
The only thing I wish I lived closer to is green open space: Clapham Common isn’t far but it isn’t quite near enough, either.
I’m in Stockwell and have been for years. I love it: there’s a proper mix here of all kinds of people and it attracts good, down-to-earth, friendly sorts.

Supermarkets etc: loads. Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and Lidl for most things you need. If you need to do a massive shop, Clapham has a huge Sainsbury’s and Nine Elms has an even bigger one and a massive Waitrose, all with parking.
Local shops: mostly small groceries, a new ice cream bar; Portuguese tapas cafes, practical DIY shops. Brixton and Clapham are walkable and have all the stuff you need that you can’t get on the doorstep.
Really friendly estate, where people smile and say hello once they recognise you.
They responding and acting as quick as possible…
I think the location is pretty good. I like having the big sainsbury next door and the nine elms station
I think the building is pretty nice and I like the gym but I wish you didn’t have to pay an initial fee. I also think the party room for rentals is a nice feature; however, I think the lounge room could use some sprucing up as it feels a bit bland and unusable
I wish I knew there wouldn’t be flexibility with removing furniture after the offer stage
They’ve been good at sorting out parking permits when we’ve been moving in
Super convenient with tube station and big Sainsbury right down. Quiet indoor with double glass. Underfloor Heating and water cooling are very comfortable.
Love living here. The Mylo management team is warm and helpful. facilities are ok with the gym but no pool. The garden is a nice please to walk dog and get some resident only space of outdoor and sunshine.
It’s very safe when entered the development. But sometime outside we see people with all kinds.
Basically the viewing tells everything. Facing direction differs at the building which some make it warmer some colder.
They fixed the cooling within a day. Also fixed the sliding door of the wardrobe very quickly. The flat is well maintained with yearly services.
Hi Louise,
Thank you so much for taking your time to share this review with us. I am so pleased to be sharing your comments with our team, who really appreciate the feedback. We are very glad you enjoy living in your apartment.
Thank you,
The property is in a great location, just right above the Nine Elms tube station and a massive Sainsbury.
The building facilities (e.g., lift and bind chute in particular) can be down at times, but everything within the flat gets fixed imminently thanks to the excellent in-house maintenance team Chad and Kornelius. They were of enormous help during our two-year tenancy and our experience living in Mylo would have never been as smooth without the two guys.
I did not know it was so close in terms of walking distance to Battersea Power Station through the new Covent Garden market. Only found out after living there for one year in a casual after-dinner wander around.
The building management was very actively engaging in resolving any issues with facilities tenancy
Hi LL,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking your time to complete this review and the kind words about Chad and Kornelijus. They are a valuable part of the team at Mylo who always go above and beyond. We appreciate your feedback in regards to the lifts and bin chutes, and we are working closely with estate management to make improvements.
Thank you once again for your review.
