.Lambeth Palace; city tranquility > .
Visit to Lambeth Palace > .

Founded in 1197, Lambeth Palace garden covers just over 10 acres and is one of the oldest and largest private gardens in London. It has been occupied by Archbishops of Canterbury since its creation. A formal courtyard boasts historic White Marseilles figs planted in 1556 while the Parkland style garden features mature trees, woodland and native planting. There is a formal rose terrace, summer gravel border, scented chapel garden and active beehives. This oasis of green on the edge of the city is a place for tranquil reflection: https://ngs.org.uk/lambeth-palace-cit... .

In 1940, Lambeth Palace suffered bomb damage due to enemy action during WW2 (1939 – 1945) because of its central location along the River Thames.

The chapel was also damaged through bombing and worsened by subsequent water and fire damage. As a result, restoration work took place in the 1950s. Opposite the palace, St Thomas’s Hospital was also heavily bombed.

The London County Council (LCC) Heavy Rescue Service were on hand to rescue people and recover bodies from buildings that were destroyed by bombing. The LCC War Debris Survey also assisted with the clear up of the wreckage and rubble left on the streets.
