London Information
London is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada along the Quebec City – Windsor Corridor with a population of 352,395, and a metropolitan area population of 457,720 in the 2006 Canadian census. The city was named after London, England. London is the seat of Middlesex County, at the forks of the non-navigable Thames River, approximately halfway between Toronto, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan.
London was first permanently settled by Europeans between 1801 and 1804 by Peter Hagerman and became a village in 1826. Since then, London has grown into the largest Southwestern Ontario municipality. The city has developed a strong focus towards education, health care, tourism, and manufacturing.
London is home to Fanshawe College and the University of Western Ontario, which contributes to the city’s reputation for research and cultural activity. London’s festivals contribute to its tourism industry, but its economic activity is centred on military vehicle production, medical research, insurance, and information technology. London’s university and hospitals are among its top ten employers. London lies at the junction of Highway 401 and 402, connecting it to Toronto, Detroit, and Sarnia, but lacks an internal freeway. It also has an international airport and train and bus stations.
London’s economy is dominated by medical research, locomotive production, insurance, and information technology. The London Life insurance company was founded there, and Electro-Motive Diesels, Inc. now builds most of its locomotives in London. General Dynamics Land Systems also builds armoured personnel carriers in the city. London is a source of life sciences and biotechnology-related research; much of this is spurred by the University of Western Ontario. The university adds about C$1.5 billion to the London economy annually. The headquarters of the Canadian division of 3M are located in London, and both the Labatt and Carling breweries were founded there. A $223 million expansion project began in 1984, making Kellogg’s Canada’s 106,000 m2 (1,140,000 sq ft) London plant one of the most technologically advanced manufacturing facilities in the Kellogg Company. A portion of the city’s population work in factories outside of the city limits, including Ford and the General Motors automotive plant CAMI, and a Toyota plant in Woodstock.
London’s downtown mall, Galleria, named Citi Plaza in 2009, has suffered since the 2000 collapse of Eaton’s and the loss of its Hudson’s Bay Company store. Other sections of Galleria/Citi Plaza have also lost businesses, which have been replaced by campuses for London’s major post-secondary education schools, Fanshawe College and the University of Western Ontario.
