As you can see London truly offers something for everyone! You could spend a number of years living in this city before you found yourself with nothing left to do.
But even locals like to get out of the city once in a while. This is where London’s location, centered in Southwestern, Ontario at the junction of highways 401 and 402 is such a benefit.
If you find yourself with a sunny Saturday to spare and a vehicle at your disposal, simply pick a direction and drive. Within 2 hours of leaving the city limits, you’ll be arriving at the doorstep of another one of Ontario’s magnificent urban centers.
- Windsor, 191 Km southwest of London, shopping, border crossing, casino

- Hamilton, 125 Km east of London, becoming a very trendy city, surrounded by amazing hiking trails and home to many beautiful waterfalls
- Niagara Falls, 201 Km east of London, a tourism destination has built up around the natural wonder of the falls
