Introducing London
The Thames, Covent Garden, Pall Mall and Oxford St – that’s London, right? You betcha, but beyond nomenclature, this version has nothing in common with its namesake. Midway between Toronto and Detroit, London Ontario is a staid, functional student town that seems hell-bent on trying to be something more than it really is. Take the students out of the picture (they remove themselves every summer) and London seems little more than a loose affiliation of tattoo parlors, homeless strugglers and Anglo street signs. Still, the music scene is rockin’, there are some cool local festivals, and one thing they do better here than in the UK is food – enough to keep you distracted for a few days.
