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.

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.

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.

Visited Lambeth Palace Gardens, one of London's mystery spaces. Beautiful

Grand and magnificent palace...short distance from Westminister. The palace, HQ of archbishop of Canterbury, is a perennial memento of rich British religious heritage. Prayed in the underground chapel at 830am.

What an honour to have been able to discover Lambeth Palace and gardens. Serene, pretty and steeped in history with breathtaking gardens. Worth a visit if you're ever lucky enough to be granted access.

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.

One of the most underrated places to visit in all of London. Beautiful gardens in the summertime, next to the river. This is the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury (For over 800 years) Try to see the chapel (15th century) and the Great Hall.

AAA had a tour but only gardens.My grandfather was a Lambeth (6th century Bible).Episcopalians. How did the Catholics get it & what king is the UNKNOWN SOLDIER? Stole his/her ship too didn't they.You would think they would tour the library to show the priceless bible unless the king had it on him.

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.

It’s like a little oasis in the heart of London. Yes, rich in history but also where several people live, an office, a chapel and event venue. You enter through a small door in ancient gate house and then see the chapel in front of you. Inside it has stalls around 3 sides and a ceiling with surprisingly modern artwork. Heading round to the right the main entrance is surrounded by a lot of space and small cute residences. Coming inside you head up stairs to the first floor. There are numerous rooms with offices and then the state room (large but quite comfy living room), guard room (great for meetings with a lovely wooden ceiling) and other smaller rooms. If you can, take a good look at the large and we’ll manicured gardens. You’ll be lucky to enter/tour them but enjoy the view while you can. Btw note to the wise: the only available toilets are on the ground floor of the main entrance, there aren’t any on the first floor.

I had a wonderful evening in the grounds. The Palace is a magnificent sight. The gardens were lovely. I went on an open evening. It was warm, a quartet was playing and the wine was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A wonderful experience remembering the meaning of Advent

Absolutely gorgeous gardens! Shane it's closed now for refurbishment, for more than 18 months. Staff are very helpful.

My daughter had a fantastic day celebrating the Kings coronations here, breakfast and lunch provided was delicious. Such a special day celebrated in such a beautiful place. Thank you 🙏

Attended a conference meeting held there. Well organised and impressive surroundings. Catering good.

This should be open more than 9 times a year to the public who own this property and gardens.

Just a lovely piece of history in the middle of London. Exceptional garden as

Place of British historical interest , ..

Came for their summer fete and had a lovely time. Lovely gardens and they put on a lot of nice things, we enjoyed the dog show 😊

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.

Lambeth Palace, the Archbishop of Canterbury's historic residence in London, is a captivating blend of Gothic architecture, serene gardens, and rich religious history. Explore its ancient chapel, magnificent library, and tranquil grounds for a unique journey through time and spirituality.

Amazing history

Unfortunately the site is only open on very rare ‘open days’ and the gardens are inaccessible during the winter.

Currently under maintenance and construction so didn’t get to go inside into the grounds. Pity!

A heady blend of ancient and modern in the heart of London. Great facilities, fascinating antiquities, helpful staff, a resource centre for faith in the city.

Handsome

Amazing place. I warmly recommend a visit. Quiet heaven in the middle of London. Historically essential, great gardens. Amazing spot for corporate events too.

Just wonderful!

Excellent place to visit with a lot of interesting items.

Great fill of old England, you can smell the river Thames from the grounds of the Palace almost expect to bump into Queen Victoria

Nothing opened and no signage

my palace is better noob get better building skills

I was just passing never visited interior of this building.

Visited the Library for a function. An amazing modern building with a huge and important collection.

So cold absolutely no heating. Some people sat and ate with their coats on.

Great bit of thames history here including an old prison up in the tower

Beautiful traditional piece of history in the heart of London The Brickwork and windows, garden of this place are well worth a look.

Visited on an Open Day in July, fascinating history, beautiful architecture and vast garden space!

Not usually open to the public but well worth a look when it is. It's surprisingly large. There are some interesting statues dotted around. The planting is quite plain but interesting in it's own way.

Excellent gardens

You really need to visit this palace
