The Lambeth Workhouse was a workhouse in Lambeth, London. The original workhouse opened in 1726 in Princes Road (later, Black Prince Road). From 1871 to 1873 a new building was constructed in Renfrew Road, Lambeth. The building was eventually turned into a hospital. The workhouse's former master's house and chapel are now occupied by the Cinema Museum which is a grade II listed building. The 19th-century workhouse was built for 820 inmates, divided by sex into two groups. It cost £64,000 to build and replaced the workhouse in Princes Road. The water tower of the workhouse is Grade II listed. In 2011, it was converted into an unusual residence with a lift and observation gallery made from the large water tank on the eighth floor. The new interior was designed by Sue Timney and the development was featured on the television show Grand Designs.The hospital was named Lambeth Hospital in 1922, which later gave its name to the psychiatric hospital in Clapham.

St George's Road
St George's Road

St George's Road is a one-way road in Southwark, London running between Westminster Bridge Road to the northwest and Elephant and Castle to the southeast. The direction of the vehicular traffic is from Elephant and Castle to Westminster Bridge Road. Its name derives from its crossing of St George's Fields, being an open rural area of the parish of St George the Martyr, Southwark. The road was laid out as part of the communications improvements for Westminster Bridge, from the 1740s, connecting the Bridge to the Elephant and Castle junctions with New Kent Road, Walworth Road and Kennington Park Road (part of the Roman Stane Street). The north end of St George's Road splits into two, with the left side merging into Westminster Bridge Road northbound, and the right side going around St George's Cathedral and joining Westminster Bridge Road southbound. A listed K2 red telephone box is located at this point.St George's Cathedral is on the north side and the Imperial War Museum and the surrounding Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park is on the south side opposite, at the junction with Lambeth Road (A3203). On the west side at this junction is the former Royal South London Dispensary, listed under its subsequent name of the Elizabeth Baxter Hostel. It is now the School of Historical Dress. It was during the refurbishment of the building as the School of Historical Dress that the lettering for the Dispensary was revealed. The London College of Communication is at the Elephant and Castle end of the road. West Square, a typical historic and unspoilt London square, is to the south of St George's Road. The engineer Joseph Clement died at 31 St George's Road on 28 February 1844; the genealogist and author Melville Henry Massue, Marquis de Ruvigny, died at 46 St George's Road on 6 October 1921. The English builder and architect George Myers is commemorated by a blue plaque at his home in 131 St George's Road where he lived between 1842 and 1853.

Stanley Kubrick Archive

The Stanley Kubrick Archive is held by the University of the Arts London in their Archives and Special Collection Centre at the London College of Communication. The Archive opened in October 2007 and contains material collected and owned by the film director Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999). It was transferred from his home in 2007 through a gift by his family. It contains much of Kubrick's working material that was accumulated during his lifetime. The collection spans Kubrick’s career as a photographer for Look and as a film director. His films are: Fear and Desire, Killer's Kiss, The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick also planned to make a number of other films two in particular were abandoned just before production, Napoleon and The Aryan Papers. He also played an important role in the conception of AI: Artificial Intelligence, although it was completed after his death by Steven Spielberg. The collection held by the University is made up of a range of material including props, scripts, research, production paperwork such as call sheets, costumes and photographs for all his films and Look, as well as material for those projects that were conceived but never visualised. By maintaining a high degree of control in the film making process, Kubrick was able to retain material generated by his pioneering techniques, research and production work: arguably making this collection one of the most complete examples of film making practice worldwide.Items from the archive are on loan for the touring Stanley Kubrick Exhibition.
