London, Canada's 10th largest city, is a modern city too, offering many community and transportation services. It boasts world-class universities and medical facilities, a thriving economy and busy social scene.

“London is very
welcoming and diverse.”
London is very welcoming and diverse. People from all over the world are drawn here for their education or careers. The diversity makes London a very tolerant and safe place for people of all backgrounds. There are hundreds of cultural and religious groups in the city, so you can be sure that you'll always have the fellowship of community and a place where you can worship.
The weather in London is agreeable and offers four distinct seasons. Spring is the shortest season. Summers are long and warm. Autumns are crisp and colourful. And winter, the most Canadian of seasons, is mild and lasts from November to the middle of March. It never gets too cold to enjoy outdoor winter activities, such as tobogganing, skating and skiing.
London is located centrally in Southwestern Ontario, so whenever you want a change of scenery, you're never far from bigger cities, like Toronto or Detroit, the Great Lakes or the pristine wilderness.
