Westminster Bridge Road

Between 1740 and 1746, the Commissioners of Westminster Bridge bought land from the Archbishop of Canterbury and ground in Lambeth Marsh from the Lord Mayor and Commonalty of the City of London for the approach to the bridge on the southern (then-Surrey) side.

It then passes under the railway viaduct south of Waterloo station and intersects with Lower Marsh and Upper March before reaching the junction at Lambeth North Underground station (named Kennington Road when it opens on 10 March 1906, renamed Westminster Bridge Road in July 1906, and renamed again in April 1917 as Lambeth North).

The intersection was once known as Asylum Circus due to its proximity to the Bethlem Royal Hospital, which from 1815 to 1930 was in the building that now houses the Imperial War Museum, 0.3 mile southeast on Lambeth Rd.

The Florence Nightingale Museum is at the west end of the street within the grounds of St Thomas' Hospital.

The London Necropolis railway station rebuilt its terminus in 1902, moving it to Westminster Bridge Road.
