Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the more modern Thames crossings built in 1932, a successor to a number of previous structures. It’s predominant red colouring is said to refer to the colour of the benches in the House of Lords, while the green motif on Westminster Bridge upstream mimics the colour of the benches in the House of Commons. Whether that’s true or not, it’s a great place to get a perfect view of the Houses of Parliament, as well as Lambeth Palace on its eastern end.

Used the bridge multiple times during the coronation weekend staying in the Novotel hotel. It’s not as grand as the Westminster bridge but the view down the Thames and of the Parliament and Lambeth Palace are a treat. It’s also less busy than it’s neighbouring bridge.

I am originally from London and much of my youth travelling around my beautiful home city. These days I live on far shores from my old home town.
There are many things about London that I look back on with admiration, but one that stands out to me quite regularly is Lambeth Bridge and the view from it as you crossed it. It was always considered a fact locally that when you go into the tourist parts of London, you will see many foreigners gathering together on Westminster Bridge, just to the north and that it would be considered as THE photographic place to take a picture of the London landscape, I disagree, if you are visiting London compare this to Lambeth Bridge, I think you'll be suitably impressed, firstly it is a far better looking and more colourful bridge, with a very red highlighting throughout. next is the view, London skyline, houses of parliament, lambeth palace, MI5 HQ, Tate Britain just to name a few. One thing is guaranteed, you will be on your own here too, so you are in a place that is better than the other Thames magnets, and yet you are just five minutes walk from them.
One thing that also impressed me as a youngster was the fact that at each end of the bridge the are two columns with pineapples on top of them, this signifies that the bridge was built to celebrate the life of a local botanist, who apparently was the first to bring pineapples to Britain and also to successfully grow them too, and the answer is no, his name was NOT Del Monte!
Please visit this bridge, it is truly beautiful.
One thing that really grates me is the fact that the other reviewer of this bridge said it is just a bridge, whats the point in writing a review about something if you have such a nonchalant opinion BORING. Lambeth Bridge is part of the life blood of this city and i can guarantee you every local has had something major happen either on or near it, I know I have, but that's another story! The gentleman who passed that comment is from bulgaria, could you imagine if i went on holiday to bulgaria and just said 'yeah well, it's just another european country innit?' I don't think so!

Great spot where you get a good shot of Parliament and the eye all together. Got barriers to stop vans and cars driven by maniacs mounting pavement.

From The London Eye we strolled down the South Bank to Lambeth Bridge passing Lambeth Palace on the left hand side...great spot for taking photos of the Houses of Parliament..Lambeth Bridge seemed nice and quiet compared to the more city centre crossings.

Near to Westminster and the London Eye. Five defined arches and great surroundings. It’s really nice and well worth a visit.

This offers some great photos of Big Ben, the River Thames, House of Lords, London Eye among many other things. I would suggest using this bridge if you want to cross to the other side, as it tends to be less busy making it easier to gain a clear photo and navigate.

Again the beauty of the night view, hues and colours that’s so different during the day.
Capturing the moment to share here with everyone. It’s nice to see the place during the day and night and note just how much it is the same and not.

This bridge is over the Themes River and next bridge to Westminster Bridge. Although not so famous as the Westminster Bridge it offers its own flavour. On the southern side you have a nice walking road . Parliament and Big Ben is walking distance from this bridge. Lovely place.
