About the Council

Lambeth – a borough of diversity, connectivity, full of excitement and opportunity.

We have long been home to radicals and reformers, entrepreneurs and innovators – people who work together to help change the lives of others and their own.

Lambeth is a global destination, with strong institutions that help shape a unique cultural offer – from Waterloo and South Bank, to the vibrance of Brixton and local highstreets of Streatham and West Norwood, Lambeth has something for everyone.

We are a place of sanctuary, and for hundreds of years, we have welcomed new communities who have left a lasting imprint on our borough. We know it is this exceptional history and the contribution and kindness of the people of Lambeth that makes it so special. It is weaved throughout every neighbourhood and community and is why so many of us continue to visit, work in the borough, and have made Lambeth the place they call home.
