Lambeth Palace is the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury but he spends most of his time in Canterbury - sensible man.

It's not the sovereign's residence, and its name is "Lambeth Palace".

Lambeth Palace is the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury who is head of the Anglican Church. Queen Elizabeth II has Buckingham Palace as her official London residence.

Phil Treveil has written:

'Lambeth Palace forecourt'

The Archbishoo of Canturbury has a bishop's palace (not as grand as it sounds - but all bishops live in 'palaces' some of which are just large houses). This is located in Canterbury,. However he also has an official residence in Lambeth Palace, London, which is situated on the opposite side of the river from the House of Parliament at the far end of Lambeth bridge, right on the banks of the Thames. All the other archbishops (of the other provinces such as York, Wales, Canada, etc) live in a palace usually in the cathedral city and near the cathedral where he holds the chair as bishop.
