London is a city in Southwestern Ontario, on banks of the Thames River, halfway between Toronto and Windsor (approximately 200 km west of Toronto).

London and Thames River were named by John Graves Simcoe in 1793, because he had intended London to be the capital of Upper Canada. Village was founded in 1826 and incorporated as a city in 1855.
