Let’s delve into what makes London’s diverse neighbourhoods special.
The Carling neighbourhood has a distinctive retro vibe, rooted in its maintained military history aesthetic, with a mix of older wartime/postwar homes and newer developments. The Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre is the local hub, featuring a pool and splash pad. Fanshawe is home to the Fanshawe Campgrounds, retaining a rustic charm despite new construction, and is near Fanshawe Lake and the Veterans Memorial Parkway. Huron Heights is diverse, attracting students from Fanshawe College and families alike, with a strong Cambodian and Vietnamese presence resulting in excellent Asian dining and grocery options.
Masonville is home to local landmarks like Masonville Mall and Western University. The area draws many students, resulting in a mix of apartments, condos, and larger family homes. Hyde Park offers unique amenities, including the historic London Hunt and Country Club. Unger’s Market is a neighborhood staple for fresh produce and gifts. Old North is highly desirable, featuring the Richmond Gates of Western University, St. Joseph’s Hospital, and scenic recreational paths along the Thames River.
The Downtown core is London’s primary center of activity. The Richmond and Dundas intersection is a major transit hub. Victoria Park is central to city life, hosting everything from Sunfest to the annual Christmas light ceremony. Richmond Row offers some of the city's finest dining and nightlife. The development of numerous condos makes the downtown core a top choice for urban living in London.
Drive down Pond Mills Road to see why London is called “The Forest City”; the views are stunning. The neighbourhood offers diverse housing (apartments, townhouses, detached/semi-detached homes). Westminster surrounds the Westminster Ponds, a unique natural area with trails and wildlife, and offers prime residential access to Highway 401 and White Oaks Mall. The Hamilton Road area provides affordable housing alongside great amenities, including some of the city’s best Portuguese restaurants, bars, and the Bob Hayward YMCA.
White Oaks is one of London’s most multicultural neighbourhoods, offering affordable high-rise apartments, semi-detached homes, and townhouses. It’s also one of the city's most walkable areas. Westmount is family-friendly, with excellent schools, shopping, and new developments like the smoke-free Westmount Estates III. Wortley Village, the heart of Old South, was named Canada’s Best Neighbourhood in 2013. This historic area, with 100-year-old houses, charming shops, and walking access to downtown, offers a superb quality of life.
