As a tourist, you’ll want to note that it’s easy
to get around London. Take the Transit bus system that efficiently
covers the entire city. Taxis are also easy to find and the drivers
are courteous and polite, often taking extra time to let visitors
know where to go and what to see.
There are a lot of things to see and do in London, and here are
some places you should look into:
| Adventures
on Wonderland
Want to let your kids burn off some energy during your vacation?
Then Adventures on Wonderland should be at the top of your
list to visit.
Banting
House National Historical Site
London has many notables who call this city their home,
but Dr. Sir Frederick G. Banting is one not to be forgotten,
as he was the co-discoverer of insulin!
Canadian Medical
Hall of Fame
As London is a world leader in medical facilities, it’s
no surprise that The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame would
be located here.
Covent
Garden Market
The newly rebuilt Covent Garden Market, located downtown
at 130 King Street, attracts Londoners and visitors alike,
especially in spring, summer and fall when the outdoor market
square fills with local growers offering their best seasonal
produce.
East
Park
What fun you’ll have when you visit East Park, 100
acres of entertainment! East Park offers the Wally World
Water Park, go-karts, batting cages and picnic grounds,
as well as an 18-hole golf course, miniature golf, and a
driving range.
Fanshawe

can step back in time at the Fanshawe Pioneer Village, a
living history museum that exemplifies southwestern Ontario
life from the mid-1800s through to the early 1900s.
Grand
Theatre
In 1901, this theatre was built by Colonel Whitney of Detroit,
and Ambrose Small of Toronto. Today a contemporary façade
houses this restored theatre.
