Westminster, Lambeth, Kennington, and Vauxhall were all bustling areas of London in 1888. Westminster was the center of British politics, with the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey being major landmarks. The area also housed important government offices such as the Home Office, Foreign and Colonial Office, and India Office. Lambeth, on the other hand, was known for its pottery and Doulton's Pottery was a notable landmark in the area. The iconic Lambeth Palace, which served as the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, was also located here.

Kennington and Vauxhall were primarily residential areas with Kennington Oval and Kennington Park being major attractions for sports and leisure. The area also had the Lambeth Workhouse and Licensed Victuallers School which catered to the poor and children of licensed victuallers respectively.

The Lambeth Bridge and Westminster Bridge were important bridges connecting these areas and St. Thomas's Hospital, which was a major hospital in the city, was located nearby. The Royal Aquarium was a popular entertainment venue in the area and the H.M. Stationary Office was responsible for printing and distributing government documents. The Millbank Penitentiary was a notorious prison that housed some of the most dangerous criminals of the time. Nine Elms Goods Station was a major railway station that was important for transporting goods in and out of London.
