Larkhall was sandwiched between Clapham and Stockwell and most residents perceive themselves to be living in either Clapham or Stockwell. Three main roads run through the ward from north to south - Landor Road in the east, Clapham Road in the centre, and Wandsworth Road in the west. The ward was named Larkhall because Larkhall Rise, then Larkhall Lane ran through the middle of it.
Larkhall contained four schools: Larkhall Infants and Junior School, St Andrew's School, Lansdowne School and Griffin primary school. There is a police station on the corner of Union Grove and Smedley Street, and Lambeth Hospital is on Landor Road.
The main Lambeth Housing estates are Fenwick, Springfield, Larkhall, Clapham Road, Patmore and Gaskell Street. Stockwell Gardens and the three imposing towers of Grantham Road are run by Hyde Southbank housing association.
