London, KY Area Guide

Just 15 minutes east of the pristine wilderness that is Daniel Boone National Forest sits London. With a name inspired by the English heritage of those who settled the area hundreds of years ago, the city of London is actually quite an intimate place to live. With a population of just over 8,000, this tranquil town envelops residents in a historic setting surrounded by views of the wilderness.

Explore London’s Main Street to experience all that the picturesque city has to offer. There’s plenty of local fare, shops, and grocery stores on the south and north ends of the street. London houses a surprising number of amenities that you might not expect in such a compact city. The New London Golf Course sits just outside the city, along with lush campgrounds. The real outdoor calling card is the aforementioned expanse of wilderness just 15 minutes to the west, providing endless camping and hiking opportunities.

Despite its surroundings, London is far from remote. I-75 runs right through town, making a trek outside your apartment — whether for business or pleasure — relatively straightforward.
