Lambeth Walk was immortalised by the 1937 musical 'Me and My Girl' which included the song The Lambeth Walk, based on a cockney dance. The musical tells the story of a cockney barrow boy who inherits an earldom and loses his Lambeth girlfriend. Although it is a fairly undistinguished street nowadays, it has a colourful history, told here: http://www.vauxhallsociety.org.uk/LambethWalk.html
