Tempo is an unincorporated place in the city of London in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.[1] It is located just south of the community of Lambeth at interchange 177 of Ontario Highway 401 with the former Ontario Highway 4.
Tempo originally was a village in Westminster Township, Middlesex County.[2] It had a post office until it closed in 1913.[3] Most of the village was demolished in the 1950s during the construction of Highway 401. There was one church, called Tempo Presbyterian Church,[3] which opened in the mid-19th century and closed down in the first decade of the 21st century. The building still stands, as the Rose Chapel, a wedding venue.
