Lambeth Palace; city tranquility

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.
