Richmond Row

Take a day to yourself on Richmond Row. Explore fashion, tattoos, and ethnic foods throughout the day, then spend the rest of your afternoon/ evening people watching at Barney's over a plate of nachos and a pitcher. The night is still young: have a few dances and drinks at Ceeps, sing karaoke at Molly Bloom's, or grab a late-night bite to eat at Burger Burger… Or all of the above! Throughout the year, Richmond Row also hosts a variety of bar hops and paint nights that are perfectfor anyone who gets bored watching Riverdale reruns at home.

Wortley Village (Old South)

Voted as one of Canada's “coolest neighbourhoods”, the historic London area features a plethora of hipster culture: coffee shops, live music, and local arts.

Try the saganaki at Sweet Onion Grill and watch molten cheese get set on fire in front of your eyes.

Old East Village (OEV)

Try some local organic food at the Root Cellar such as the maple cinnamon French toast, and their roasted vegetable and kale eggs Benedict. This neighborhood is rich in art: check out musical acts at Aeolian Hall, try your hand at pottery at the London Clay Art Centre, or enjoy a Japanese crepe at Wisdom Cafe (Teashop).
