What to do and see in Central London, Canada: The Best Things to do

February 1, 2022 Viva Honore

You’ll see double-decker buses and even the River Thames, but while London, Ontario, has clearly been inspired by its British namesake, this is a distinctly Canadian destination. Attractions like Fanshawe Pioneer Village, Banting House and Eldon House will captivate history buffs. Or indulge your, shall we say, slightly less cerebral side with a tour of the Labatt Brewery.

Tried Best Mystery in Time and loved it so much that we that came back the next day to go through the Volcano Room. So creatively produced! Been to a lot of escape rooms, but Trapped Door was the best by far.

we visited this house and what a surprise! I love history and this house delivers. furnitures, decor, kitchen, wallpaper, bedroom and the guides are very informative that even my son who hates sightseeing got interested with the house history and ask a lot of questions.... they have construction but you can still go inside the house. They also have high tea with staff dressed in old servants uniform... Highly recommend to visit and admission is donation to hep with the upkeep of this house.

An awesome entertainer, with a great stage. I've seen various concerts here, in RUSH, Meatloaf; theatrical productions, such as Rent, Kinky Boots; figure skating including our own Scott and Tessa; and of course the London Knights.

I have posted earlier about what a treasure this place is. As of June 1 all vendors have been given the go ahead to come back. And the outdoor market is active yet again. I've been going every Saturday after the partial reopening. Really looking forward to when they're all back again.

Labatt Blue is my favorite beer so this was a cool bucket list visit for me. The buildings, the town, the brewery, the people, the tour guide.....every element had character, charm, history, and energy. Highly recommend taking the time to book this tour.

Went for a production of Mary Poppins, and was very pleased with the theatre. Very cool place to see a play or show. My only complaint would be that there's not much of a view on the balcony on the ends.
