LONDON, ONTARIO, CANADA Located about a two-hour drive from Toronto, London is known by many as the “Forest City”. Its tree-lined boulevards and green parks invite bicyclists and walkers to discover the charms of the city built along the Thames River. This peaceful setting gives Canada’s 11th largest city a small town feel, despite its population of just over 385,000.
