London - Lambeth Palace

In the southern part of Lambeth is the 12th C Lambeth Palace, for over 700 years the London residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Every ten years the Lambeth Conference of Anglican Bishops is held in the Great Hall of the palace.

The Lambeth Palace usually appreciated from the exterior as it is usually closed to the public unless a tour has been arranged in advance. The gardens however are sometimes accessible.

The most familiar riverside sight associated with the palace is the Tudor gatehouse which dates from 1485.
