Lambton Quay - Wellington, New Zealand | 4K Walking Tour

Lambton Quay (once known as 'The Beach') is the heart of the central business district of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand.

Originally, as the name implies, it was the high-water line of the foreshore, and sometimes the sea would roll across the road and enter the shops on the opposite side. It was the site of the original European settlement in 1840, which grew into Wellington.

Lambton Quay is named after John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, the first chairman of directors of the New Zealand Company.

In 2020 it was estimated that about 70,000 people travel on Lambton Quay and Willis Street each day, mostly on foot or by bus. It is also of administrative significance, with the New Zealand Parliament Buildings towards the northern end. The Wellington Cable Car runs from Lambton Quay to the top of the Botanic Garden. The length of Lambton Quay is punctuated by several notable sculptures.
