Colonel Talbot Road

Colonel Talbot Road is a well known roadway in the London area. Its northmost point starts at Byron Baseline Road in the east area of Byron and runs down to Lambeth, where it intersects with Longwoods Road and becomes Highway 4. From there, the highway crosses over Highway 402 and Highway 401 and ends shortly thereafter at Southminster Bourne (County Road 18). Highway 4 continues a short distance to the south, to Highway 3 at Talbotville. The road also continues a short distance north of Byron Baseline Road to Commissioners Road, as North Street.

The road is named after Colonel Thomas Talbot, who was in charge of settling the area in the 19th Century. For many years, the road was known as North Talbot Road, and assumed its current name in the late 1980s. Prior to the City of London annexation of Westminster Township in 1993, the road was also known as Middlesex County Road 40 north of Lambeth.
