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.”
The good are that, you are right next to Nine Elms station and about 10 mins from Vauxhall. Great transportation links within the area. Not soo much places to eat if you ever fancied a quick nibble.
A few anti social behaviours within the Haydn tower block as you will occasionally smell smoke lingering. Additionally, the bin chutes are poorly operated, always seem to be blocked and residents leave their rubbish infront of the bin chutes. There is a Sainsbury attached below, whereby you will occasionally find the odd trolly here or there in the corridors abandoned.
The development features a nice shared enclosed courtyard. Very bright and if you are a dog lover like me you will find lots of dogs enjoying the courtyard.
The gym and other facilities are located in another building which you could walk through the courtyard or can go through the underground parking.
The building is basically student accommodation. Please avoid as the demographic is severely polluted with students.
Good at responding but not effective when it comes to it.
There are many local convenience stores, some even 24/7! The nearest underground stations are a little far away.
The building is fantastic, very modern and regularly maintained with investment clearly seen. Ruth and Duncan who manage the building are incredible, and really take care to ensure resident needs are met! I love the communal vide I have with residents and often make use of the communal workspace, gym, and on-site store!
The design of the building causes lots of wind noise during bad weather conditions.
An issue with the communal washing machine was repaired the very next day!
The area is great, well located on the northern and Victoria line. The building is also right agains the park which is great in the summer.
The development itself is nice, everything is modern and decently well kept. The facilities are great for those that work from home and like to exercise. On the downside the value is not really there compared to some private apartments but it totally depends on how much you value the facilities. The staff are kind and helpful as well.
The space is small for two people, we are in a 23sq meter apartment which is fine for a few months maybe not for a 1y lease
Fixed within the day usually. That being said everything is new so not much maintenance needed!
Good aspect is it is Close to the city centre and work.
Bad aspect a lot of rubbish on the streets.
It is a nice place to live! Offers the gym! however it is over priced for the size of the apartment but you will be paying for the location and view. The place is modern and is very energy efficient. The view from most apartments are amazing. Quiet area.
Always read the contract carefully and triple check everything with the management. If they say you have a clause etc make them show you where it is in the contract! Make sure everything that is agreed in words is written in the contract. Council tax is also very high be prepared.
Yes they have been very efficient. Always solved the issue within a few hours.
