You’ve probably started to notice the shift ... the cooler nights, the changing scent, that slight feeling of anxiety/excitement knowing September is around the corner (that nudge is there even if you’ve been out of school for years), and don’t get me started on the retail inventory - Fall is coming.
But, it’s not here yet! There are still summer days filled with warm sunshine to embrace. So, keep the pumpkin spice everything locked away for a while longer and live in the moment.
Discover new and unique ways to engage with three diverse neighbourhood communities around London. Step outside your comfort zone and explore a different part of the city than you're used to.
Downtown
Discover the vibrant heart of the city at Downtown London, where culture, dining, shopping, and entertainment come together in a dynamic urban experience.
TAP Centre for Creativity is London’s go-to destination for the arts, featuring a gallery, theatre, workshop space, and resident artist studios all in one downtown location. It cultivates a dynamic community of artists and performers through a wide range of programs designed to inspire and engage, providing a space for creativity to thrive, connect, and be shared with the public.
Before or after checking out Mackinnon’s work, take a walk down the middle of the street - Dundas Place is open! London’s first flex street allows pedestrians to roam freely. Visit merchants, grab a drink on a patio or just enjoy a leisurely stroll in the core without vehicles getting in your way.
Hamilton Road
Explore Hamilton Road, where creativity, community, and local businesses thrive in one of the city’s most eclectic and vibrant neighbourhoods.
London is known as the Forest City so a Tree Trunk Tour might seem a bit on the nose - I think it’s not only fitting but a perfect way to celebrate and showcase the beauty of trees! However, this is not your average tour to discover tree species, rather it features incredible, artistic carvings. Each carving and stop along the tour incorporate history and a unique story.
Old East Village
Discover the vibrant culture, unique shops, and local experiences of London's Old East Village – where community and creativity thrive!
If art, culture and/or history is your jam then you’ll want to check out the self-guided OEV Culture Cruise. Featuring murals, mosaics, and sculptures, you’ll have the chance to visit art installations at iconic local destinations such as the Palace Theatre, Banting House and Aeolian Hall. All that walking is sure to work up an appetite, so finish off your afternoon at The Mockingbird Cocktail Bar & Lounge, grab a pint on the patio at Anderson Craft Ales or a caffeine fix and snack at Dough EV.
