City - London

London is found in southwestern Ontario, north of Lake Erie and the U.S. border. London has developed into a transportation and industrial hub, and you’ll find the city is home to extensive rail and highway networks that lead into the surrounding agricultural region, which produces fruit, vegetables, and grain for the city. London is also home to Western University, making this city an excellent place for students to rent their first apartment.

If you’re looking for activities and attractions, London has plenty. Springbank Park is a popular destination with scenic trails and river views, making it ideal for family outings. Budweiser Gardens hosts hockey games and concerts year-round, while Storybook Gardens offers a storybook-themed outdoor park with rides, a splash pad, and play areas.

Victoria Park is a favourite among residents for concerts and festivals thanks to its proximity to Richmond Row.
