Lambeth benefited from the generosity of Sir Henry Tate, who lived in Streatham. He provided many South London libraries of which the largest was the Tate Central Library in Brixton. It dates from 1893 and is in an important position facing the Town Hall. The bust outside is of Sir Henry Tate and dates from 1899.
