1/ Imperial War Museum, the museum relocated here in 1936.the building built in 1812 was the Bethlem Royal Hospital, known as Bedlam, a lunatic asylum founded in the Middle Ages,
2/ 28 Lambeth high Street (it's not what we would call a high street today!) Was the famous Doulton and Watts pottery from 1834. The stone work on the building is amazing.
3/ Lambeth Walk, probably doesn't mean much unless your a Londoner or old, video below might help. 😁
4/ Across the road from the Imperial War Museum is the house where William Bligh lived when he was commander of the Bounty in 1789, I am sure you all know about the mutiny on the Bounty, from history the film.

Don't know if you know, but in the park surrounding the museum is a Tebetan peace garden opened by the Dalai Lama in 1999. There is a monument there and the words written on it are very, well to me, moving, couldn't get a photo to capture it, but found the words on the internet
“We human beings are passing through a crucial period in our development.Conflicts and mistrust have plagued the past century, which has brought immeasurable human suffering and environmental destruction. It is in the interests of all of us on this planet that we make a joint effort to turn the next century into an era of peace and harmony.May this peace garden become a monument to the courage of the Tibetan people and their commitment to peace.May it remain as a symbol to remind us that human survival depends on living in harmony and always choosing the path of non-violence in resolving our differences.”
