Lambeth Palace, the London base of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Museum of Garden History are to the north, towards the west by the river. St George's Cathedral Southwark is on the north side. Opposite on the south side is the Imperial War Museum, originally the site of the notorious Dog and Duck tavern and later the Bethlem Royal Hospital, the world's oldest psychiatric hospital.

Lambeth Walk adjoins to the south in the middle. Other adjoining roads include the Albert Embankment and Lambeth Palace Road by the river, Kennington Road and St George's Road. Some buildings on Lambeth Road are listed.{{cite web |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1116356 | title=96–102, Lambeth Road | publisher=Historic England | access-date=31 May 2025 }}
