Welcome to London, Ontario, locally known as Forest City. London is located in the middle of Southern Ontario, less than three hours away from Lake Huron, Barrie, Toronto, Lake Ontario, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Lake Erie, and Detroit, in their respective directions. You don't have to worry about paying for gas, though. London has all the benefits of these big cities, combined with the peace and quiet of the lakeshore towns. From sports to shopping and from dining to diverse culture and entertainment, London has everything you could want in a city to call home, and much more. This site is designed to help give you an idea of exactly what you will find in London, and how to make the most of it, whether in shopping for real estate or in starting your own business.

Probably one of the most well-known family attractions of London is Storybook Gardens. Open year-round, with a variety of family-friendly activities and storybook scenes, Storybook Gardens is a great way to spend a day of fun with the kids, whether you're strolling through nursery rhyme scenes or climbing the rigging on Pirates' Island. There are also lots of animals to see in the Enchanted Forest, the Natural Wildlife Pond, Old McDonald's Farm, and especially in Storybook Valley, where you will find cozy habitats for the park's harbour seals, river otters, and beavers. In winter, the park is transformed into a winter wonderland, with a skating trail that takes you through some of the favourite park locations and which is fully lit at night for a one-of-a-kind winter experience. No matter what time of the year, if you're looking for some family fun, come down to Storybook Gardens and let Slippery the seal and his friends handle the rest!

For sports and recreation, London is truly in the top of its class. Home to Ontario's only velodrome, a world-class swimming and diving facility, over 30km of walking, jogging, inline skating and biking trails, and many more arenas, fields and sports programs besides, there is no shortage of active entertainment in London. Try one of London's 70 golf courses, take a dip in one of the outdoor or indoor public pools, or just grab a football and toss it around with friends at one of the many city-managed parks. And when you're done working out, why not go see a show at the John Labatt Centre or the Grand Theater? No matter which London zip code you find yourself in, you're sure to have a wonderful experience in Forest City. So come visit and see for yourself just what London has to offer!
