Garden treasure
The Garden Museum
, a beautiful medieval church building adjacent to Lambeth
Palace, is a jewel of a venue, just by the River Thames. Step outside for a backdrop
of the Houses of Parliament, or
make your way through the
17th Century style knot garden –

your photos.
Enjoy the truly stunning
architecture of the main hall, as
you sit down to dinner beneath
the stained glass windows under
the high-vaulted Victorian roof.
The oldest visible structure in
Lambeth, the original church
dates back to 1062 and it still has its medieval church tower. So step into history
as you step out in style at one of the most treasured venues in the capital.
