Welcome to the London and Area Bed and Breakfast Association!
In 1793, Governor John Graves Simcoe imagined London as the future capital of Canada, but as events unfurled, no capital materialized. When the first settlers arrived in the 1820s, the site was named "the Forks", and later became known as London. Its ties to the English capital are evident today in the names of the city, its streets, its parks, and the Thames River. London,
now, is a busy hub of activity and boasts a bounty of parks and
has become known as the Forest City, due to a century old program
of planting hundreds of trees annually. Museums and galleries
are plentiful, including a historic pioneer village, London Museum
of Archaeology, The University of Western Ontario adds color and another dimension to our lovely city with students from all over the world. Our teaching hospitals make it another well known center for medical advancements, second to none. Our
newly rebuilt Covent Garden Market is only one of the many places
to shop, eat, and visit. London boasts great malls, superb restaurants,
and is a shopper's paradise. In the winter, enjoy skiing at Boler
Mountain or at nearby Our city is surrounded by pictureaque countryside and some of the best farmland in Canada. Since 1868, the Western Fair has become one of Canada's largest fairs. The Fairgrounds also house a major harness racing track and a 5000 seat, heated grandstand. A vibrant, growing city, with cultural events, interesting attractions, double decker bus tours, scenic 'London Princess' boat tours on the Thames, Storybook Gardens, and much, much more.
