Lower Marsh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lower Marsh is a street in the Waterloo neighbourhood of London, England. It is the location of Lower Marsh Market.
The northern tip of the ancient parish of Lambeth was marshland known as Lambeth Marshe, but it was drained in the 18th century and is remembered in the Lower Marsh street name. Sometime after the opening of Waterloo railway station in 1848 the locality around the station and Lower Marsh became known as Waterloo.[1]
