City centers are dynamic places.

It is also home to unique landmarks and is experiencing significant growth and improvement. This tour will provide an overview of some of the initiatives underway to shape the current vision for London’s core.

The route will include the following sites:

  • Victoria Park
  • The Grand Theatre
  • Eldon House
  • The Forks of the Thames
  • Budweiser Gardens
  • Dundas Place Flex Street
  • Covent Garden Market
  • Fanshawe College downtown campus
 
With over 70 years of combined experience living and working in the city, Jim and Ron offer a wealth of information about the past, present, and future of London’s downtown. Their enthusiasm for the subject promises to make this a lively and enjoyable morning.
