Walk Friendly London
London is located in southwestern Ontario, approximately halfway between Toronto and Detroit, Michigan. It is home to two post-secondary institutions, Western University and Fanshawe College, as well as several hospitals. The Thames River is a prominent feature of London’s geography; the north and south branches of the river meet at the centre of the city at a location commonly referred to as “The Forks.” In our Walk Friendly Ontario Showcase profile, you will read about how London has developed pathways for active transportation alongside the river, providing routes around the City that take full advantage of the scenic views. You will also read about a few of London’s other innovative efforts to improve walkability that helped it earn a Bronze WALK Friendly Communities designation.
