Lambeth stretches from the arches at Waterloo down to the suburban streets of Streatham, and the railway is the thread running through it. Viaducts and arches provide continuous sheltered runs for rodents, and the food businesses built into them provide the reason to stay. Brixton's market and the Clapham high streets add concentrated waste; the Georgian terraces of Kennington add ageing drainage.
