About

St Martin's ward occupies a compact area in central Lambeth, situated between Kennington to the south and Waterloo to the north. Its western boundary is defined by the thoroughfare of Kennington Road and the Archbishop's Park, placing it just south of the River Thames. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of social housing estates and converted Georgian and Victorian terraces. The local economy is supported by smaller shops and services along nearby major roads.

The ward is anchored by the expansive grounds of Lambeth Palace, the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, which has stood here for centuries. The historic St Mary-at-Lambeth church, now the Garden Museum, sits at its gates. The area's proximity to significant institutions like St Thomas' Hospital shapes the community. Open space is provided by the smaller, local Archbishop's Park, a key amenity for residents.
