Lambeth, London, Ontario

[1] Lambeth was formerly a population centre in Westminster Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada.

It held the status of Police Village (lacking corporate status as a village, but administered by a board of trustees) until an effort was made by the local Reeve, David Murray, to stop annexation by the City of London which brought about the creation of the Town of Westminster in 1988, which itself ceased to exist on December 31, 1992.

[2] On January 1, 1993, the Town of Westminster, including the village of Lambeth, became part of the City of London.

[5] During World War II, the Royal Canadian Navy set up a radio direction finding (radar) station at Lambeth.

Its purpose was to acquire a bearing whenever a German U-boat transmitted a radio messages back to their HQ.

This celebration is called Harvestfest and it usually takes place the first week after Labour Day, beginning on the Thursday and running until late Sunday.
