Lambeth Palace
A photo looking up at main tower of Lambeth Palace

Lambeth Palace is the last survivor of the great London seats of the Bishops along the south bank of the Thames. The Archbishop of Canterbury has owned it since about 1200.

Behind the walls is a complex of domestic buildings, largely medieval and wholly picturesque, which is of great interest and merit.
