About Downtown London

Downtown London spans the core of the city between the two branches of the Thames River. The neighbourhood has undergone significant revitalization โ€” Dundas Place is now a pedestrian-flex street lined with patios and events, Covent Garden Market anchors the west end of downtown, and new high-rise residential development is bringing hundreds of new residents into the core each year. Budweiser Gardens hosts major concerts and the London Knights. Richmond Row provides one of southern Ontario's best independent dining and nightlife strips. For buyers who want an urban lifestyle โ€” walking to work, culture at your doorstep, and no need for a car โ€” downtown London is the only answer.

Food & Culture

Covent Garden Market

London's year-round public market is one of the most beloved institutions in the city. Fresh produce, local vendors, artisan foods, prepared meals, and specialty items from southwestern Ontario's farming community all converge here on a daily basis. Saturday mornings at Covent Garden are a downtown ritual โ€” the kind of market culture that makes urban living genuinely rich.

Urban Culture

Dundas Place

Dundas Place is London's bold pedestrian-flex street experiment โ€” a block of Dundas Street transformed into a programmable urban space with retractable bollards, patio culture, street festivals, and events that activate the downtown core year-round. It represents London's urban ambition and has drawn new residents, businesses, and cultural energy into the heart of the city.

Dining & Nightlife

Richmond Row

Richmond Street from Oxford to Cheapside is one of southern Ontario's best independent dining and nightlife districts โ€” dozens of restaurants, bars, patios, and boutiques that consistently punch above London's population weight. For downtown condo residents, Richmond Row is an extension of their living room: the place to eat, drink, and spend a weekend evening without ever getting in a car.
