'''Lambeth Bridge''' is a road traffic and [[footbridge]] crossing the [[River Thames]] in an east–west direction in central London. The river flows north at the crossing point. Downstream, the next bridge is [[Westminster Bridge]]; upstream, the next bridge is [[Vauxhall Bridge]].

The most conspicuous colour in the bridge's paint scheme is red, the same colour as the leather benches in the [[House of Lords]], which is at the southern end of the [[Palace of Westminster]] nearest the bridge. This is in contrast to Westminster Bridge, which is predominantly green, the same colour as the benches in the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] at the northern end of the Houses of Parliament.

On the east side, in [[London Borough of Lambeth|Lambeth]], are [[Lambeth Palace]], the [[Albert Embankment]], [[St. Thomas' Hospital]], and the [[International Maritime Organization]]. On the west side, in [[City of Westminster|Westminster]], are [[Thames House]] (the headquarters of [[MI5]]), behind which is Horseferry House (the [[National Probation Service]] headquarters), and Clelland House and Abell House (the headquarters of [[HM Prison Service]]), and the [[Millbank Tower]] and [[Tate Britain]]. The [[Palace of Westminster]] is a short walk downstream to the north through the Victoria Tower Garden.
