Lambeth () is a district in Central London, England, located in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is situated south of Charing Cross. The population of Lambeth was 23,937 in 2011. ==Toponymy== The name is recorded in 1062 as ''Lambehitha'', meaning 'landing place for lambs', and in 1255 as ''Lambeth''. In the Domesday Book, Lambeth is called "Lanchei", likely in error. The name refers to a harbour where lambs were either shipped from or to. It is formed from the Old English 'lamb' and 'hythe'. South Lambeth is recorded as ''Sutlamehethe'' in 1241 and North Lambeth is recorded in 1319 as ''North Lamhuth''. The marshland in the area, known as ''Lambeth Marshe'', was drained in the 18th century but is remembered in the Lower Marsh street name. Sometime after the opening of Waterloo railway station in 1848 the locality around the station and Lower Marsh became known as Waterloo.〔
