What to do and see in London, Canada: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

November 8, 2021 Jasper Kershner

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.

Love this boutique. A great place to shop with friends on a day out. I generally pick up something for myself when shopping for gifts. The leather gloves are outstanding!

First time here, lots of stuff to see along with fresh food and eats.There are good buys in coffee (keurig) fresh meat and frozen foods.We recommend the schnitzel of which there are a number of different rubs, the discount goods store have stale dated items at a fantastic discount, just be careful of what you buy.coffee pods 100 for $40 is another good deal A very large frozen food section..Parking can be a bit of a problem, there are several handicap spaces at the side of the building. We found it extremely hot, so you might want to dress accordingly.
