Lambeth Palace, formerly Lambeth House is the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Visitors can take a guided tour of the Crypt, Guard Room, Chapel and the Library. All tours must be booked in advance. Lambeth Palace is one of the few medieval buildings left in London. The official London residence of the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury and until 1978 the site of the Lambeth Conference, an episcopal assembly that is called about once every 10 years (the conference now meets at Canterbury). About 1200 the first sections of the palace were built. The Lollards’ Tower, a former water tower, dates to the 1430s, and the fine Tudor gatehouse was completed by the early 16th century. Many of the buildings, including the residence proper, the 14th-century Guard Room, and the church of St. Mary-at-Lambeth (now a garden museum), were built or restored in the 19th century.

A historic and unique building in heart of London. Located few miles away from the parliament and Westminster, Lambeth palace is a hidden treasure. The gardens are one of the most beautiful in London while the building itself has a great historic background, being the base of archbishop of Canterbury. The interior is like a time machine in the past, with an astonishing library and the portraits of all the archbishops. I definitely recommend that place, especially in the sunny days.

The gorgeous garden at Lambeth Palace is open from May until September on the first Friday of each month. Make sure you visit. It's like being behind the scenes at a secret location. If you are lucky the chapel and library might be open. It's such as pretty place to explore and a real pleasure. The Garden Museum is next door which has a very good restaurant.

Very tranquil place. Just like a secret garden. I went in through a door in the wall, but public tours most probably enter via the main gateway. Our office across the road overlooks the Westminster Bridge end of the garden. The only thing we can really see is the new stark red brick library opened in 2020. Not included picture of that.

Beautiful place to visit. Riverside Thames cruises available. Easy to come via public transport or by tourist bus service. Many cafes nearby. Lots of attraction and nice views across Thames river. Walking, cycling routes available. Parking charges are high so public transport is best.

Beautiful gardens that are well maintained throughout. Staff were so lovely and welcoming. There are toilets onsite, not sure how clean or accessible they are as we didn't use them. Would recommend for a day out for a picnic with the children.
