Place description: London is a city located in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Lesser known than its British counterpart, Canadian London is situated by the river Thames, another name borrowed from a British river. Both of these names were given by John Graves Simcoe in 1793 who had wanted the new London to be the capital of Upper Canada.
Today, London is the largest southwestern Ontario municipality and also a popular centre for healthcare and education, both of which feed the city’s economy.
