Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes and surrounded by the Thames River, London is the perfect balance between city and nature.  Nicknamed the Forest City for its more than seven million trees, London offers an abundance of outdoor activities. From serene parks and trails for nature enthusiasts to various recreational facilities, there's always a chance to unwind and reconnect with nature.  

When environmental factors such as air quality, noise pollution, water quality, risk of natural disasters and access to green space are considered, London is independently rated among the very best cities over 100,000 in Canada 

London is within an hour’s drive of the sandy beaches and resort villages on Lake Huron and Lake Erie.  As a four-season Southern Canadian city, we enjoy a temperate climate where we don’t experience big temperature changes, and you can be active outside year-round. 

Family Friendly
