Come and explore the rich history that has made the Garden at Lambeth Palace what it is today.
Step into the story of one of London’s oldest continuously cultivated gardens. From medieval orchards to today’s vibrant ten-acre landscape, this display brings together items from the Library’s collections and everyday objects to explore how Lambeth Palace Garden has grown, changed, and connected people for over 800 years.
Discover the plants once sown, the gardeners who tended them, and the evolving shape of the garden itself — a place of work, sanctuary, and community.
Come and explore the rich history over the wall — the people and the place that have made the Garden at Lambeth Palace what it is today.
