What makes Lambeth different

With 58.0% of households living without a car, customers in Lambeth favour businesses they can walk or take the bus to. Your website should make the location and the nearest bus routes obvious.

Working from home was common in Lambeth at Census 2021 (50.2% of working residents). People who work locally shop locally, and they look up businesses on their laptops between calls.

Residents in their twenties and early thirties (34.2% of Lambeth) expect to find a business online before they visit. If they cannot see your services and your address within seconds on a phone, they move on.

Rules to know before your Lambeth website goes live

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
