Location
Lambeth is a large rural neighbourhood in the southeast end of London, Ontario! This small community was a township before its amalgamation with London in 1993. It is located immediately north of Highway 402 and directly east of Colonel Talbot Road. Because of its history, Lambeth possesses a strong, small-town sense of community.

The housing market in Lambeth is suited for households who fall in the middle to upper-class income bracket with the average list price being in the low to mid $600,000s. Buyers can expect to see a decent range of housing within the area. These types of houses vary from low-density single detached dwellings, post-war bungalows and twentieth-century farmhouses to larger family homes.
