Why is it called Lambeth North?

Bakerloo

Where the name comes from

Lambeth was first recorded in 1062 as Lambehitha, 'landing place for lambs', from Old English lamb and hythe. The station opened in 1906 as Kennington Road, became Westminster Bridge Road, then Lambeth (North) in 1917 and Lambeth North in 1928.

Worth knowing: It had three different names in its first 11 years.
