Industrial Lambeth

Discover London's forgotten workshop, Lambeth's waterfront, to uncover traces of a busy industrial hub among the office blocks

Once stately barges brought important visitors to Lambeth Palace and small boats unloaded their cargoes of sheep. Find out how the marshy acres of Water Lambeth become a bustling hive of industries as we will trace the development and demise pf the munitions factories and glassworks of the mid-seventeenth century to the vinegar works, potteries and breweries of the nineteenth.

Join your Lambeth Tour Guide, Jenni Bowley, to discover gin-makers, brewers, ironworks, a coffee roastery and, of course, a few larger-than-life characters along the way.
