Lambeth London Borough Council, styled as Lambeth Council, serves as the local authority for the London Borough of Lambeth in Greater London, England. Historically an ancient parish in Surrey, Lambeth lies 1 mile south of Charing Cross, across the river from Westminster Palace. The borough’s population was 303,086 in 2011, with modest growth noted during medieval times as part of the manor of Lambeth Palace. By the Victorian era, the area had experienced significant development as London expanded, featuring dense industrial, commercial and residential buildings adjacent to one another. Distinct localities began to appear on maps, and a separate parish of South Lambeth was created in 1861, reflecting the area's evolving urban character.
