Hercules Road runs north from Lambeth Road near Lambeth Palace, on the site of Penlington Place. It is probably most well-known for a former resident, the poet and visionary artist William Blake (1757–1827), who lived in a large house where 23 Hercules Road now stands. The site is marked with a plaque.
