About London

London is Ontario’s sixth largest city, with a population of 366,151. London is also called the ‘Forest City’ by its residents. Opportunities are plentiful for newcomers. The city offers work opportunities, education, culture, dining, shopping and fun for the family. But because it’s not a really large city, it’s friendly and easy to get around.
