Schools in Lambeth, London
Recorded as Lambehitha in 1062, meaning 'landing place for lambs', Lambeth has grown from a Thames-side parish into one of Inner London's most populous boroughs, home to around 317,000 residents spread across a long southward strip. The South Bank anchors its northern edge, drawing galleries and cultural venues to the riverfront where the Thames defines the boundary with the City of Westminster.
The Victoria and Northern lines serve the borough well. Clapham and Streatham draw families competing for state primary catchments, both long established as school-competitive corners of south London, where school places have become central to many household decisions. South Lambeth extends the residential spread into the borough's quieter streets towards the south.
