London is nestled in the heart of Southwestern Ontario and stands at the forks of the Thames River, just a two hour drive from Toronto, to the east, and two hours from the Windsor-Detroit border, to the west. London is one of the oldest cities in Canada and the 10th largest, with a population of over 348,000. We are a picturesque community providing a mixture of history and convenience, excitement and contentment, tradition and originality. We are one of those unexpected cities with constant surprises and delights for our visitors. Our tree-lined streets have brought distinction to the name "The Forest City". London is large enough to provide all the amenities visitors and residents desire, yet retains the friendliness of a smaller community.

The University of Western Ontario is located in the north-end of the City, just 20 minutes from the London International Airport and 10 minutes from downtown London and the bus and train stations. The University provides the perfect setting and facilities for any size gathering, whether it's a group of 50 or 3,000 delegates.
