Known as the Forest City, London Ontario is big enough to have everything you need in dining, culture, entertainment, shopping, sports - but with the added plus of a friendly ambience that is reminiscent of smaller communities.

The London calendar of festivals is year round, though summer is definitely the high season with special celebrations happening almost every weekend. Enjoy being active? Strap on skates, cycle, run or walk along our scenic pathway system that borders much of the banks of the Thames. As a golfer, you'll be spoilt for choice - there are more than 70 courses in London and its surrounding areas. From water to racquet sports there are recreational facilities to meet your interests.

London is full of parks and green spaces in the downtown core. Within easy distance, too, are preserved natural areas such as meadows and woodlands in residential neighbourhoods.

Some of London Ontario's many attractions include Storybook Gardens, The Grand Theatre, The London Museum and East Park Golf Gardens. Some of the popular festivals that take place throughout the year are the Garlic Festival of London, London Fringe Theatre Festival, London International Blues Fest, and the London Ontario Western Fair.
