… But if someone offers you the opportunity, make sure you know which London you’re headed towards!
London, found in South Western Ontario, is my Canadian home town. Yes folks, I’m a Londoner. But ‘real’ Londoners, from the other side of the pond, are rarely impressed when I call myself one. Needless to say, being a Londoner from Ontario, has caused confusion at many airport immigration counters, university applications and conversations in bars around the world.
I’d like to now take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London, Ontario. Maybe I’ll show you something, to make you change your mind and encourage you to visit this beautiful town!
