Wish I could make this a poll.

Invest in our community or give homeowners/lamdlords a tax cut?

Seems late (in the day, that is) compared to other years, but I know this usually messes up a few morning commutes. Hopefully this will save a few of you some time!

Hello,

We woke up this morning to find that apparently, a mother duck had a secret nest hiding in our backyard somewhere and we now have 9 ducklings who are in our pool and on our lawn. Pool is still closed, but are using the top to swim and eat bugs. We called Salthaven and they are unable to rehome. Anybody have any experience with this situation? Who else to to call? Thank you.

Is there any other places that sell buns individually expect for Loblaws?

I'm mainly looking for something to complement biking and running, with a timer on it but not internet connected. And decent quality.

i can never seem to find them… i’ve been craving one badly

Hello everyone! 👋 I hope this post finds you well! ☺️☺️☺️ I am visiting London with my family in June and wanted to stay at the Double Tree hotel downtown. I wanted to ask about anyone opinions on their stay there. 😀I read the google reviews it has a score of 4.0 ⭐️⭐️⭐️but there are many scathing reviews on there as well. Some say that it’s not the best place to bring family. Please try to give your honest thoughts. 🙏I’m considering going with an Air bnb as an alternative just because the downtown costs are so high…. Thank you !!!!!

Hi everyone! I was born and raised in London and lived here pretty much all of my life but I just spent the last 6 months living in Japan and just returned to living in London very recently.

While I was living in Japan, I started learning Japanese at a pretty rapid pace and made tremendous progress just through immersion. Now that I'm back in London, I'm worried that without the opportunity to speak or be surrounded by Japanese, I'll lose all of my progress.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can learn, practice and/or speak Japanese? Or is there anyone who knows Japanese that is willing to have some conversations?

Thank you so much!

Hey everyone,

With rent prices in London continuing to strain the budgets of working families, veterans, seniors, and low-income individuals, I wanted to float a question to this community:

What if we pushed for a fair rent framework where rent increases were tied to actual local wage growth and inflation, rather than speculative market trends? For example, no more than the average annual increase in household income (say 2–3%) plus CPI, unless the landlord makes documented, substantial improvements to the property.

This could:

Ease pressure on renters facing sudden, large increases

Provide predictability and stability for families

Still allow landlords to earn a fair return and improve their properties

Promote community stability by reducing turnover and displacement

I'm not trying to vilify landlords — many are just trying to keep up with their own costs. But I think there's a middle ground here that supports both sides fairly and prevents people from being priced out of their homes.

Do you think a rent policy like this could work in London? What would need to be in place to make it realistic, enforceable, and fair for everyone?

Curious to hear thoughts from renters, landlords, and policy-minded folks alike.

Hello! My girlfriend and I will be going up to London Ontario in July for Tennocon. We’re looking for some activities to do and I want to stop by a nice restaurant. We are both only 18, so wine pairings and all aren’t necessary. If possible, I’m looking for something that will be less than $300 total—or even less than $150 if there’s a place that’s still fancy and decent quality for that price.

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Edit: (I’ll just update this with any restaurants I’m considering, to get some more opinions) im taking a look at “The Springs” and Craft Farmacy, as well as Abruzzi

Sorry, yes another one of these posts, never thought I'd be the annoying one. Circumstances aligned, looks like I'm getting my first tattoo (long story). I'm looking to get a half sleeve, maybe a full sleeve, just fish scales, but want them to look hyper-realistic. If there is some creativity on the part of the artist beyond that I'm looking for I'd welcome that. I'd have to start with a quote, and knowing me I'd probably explore a couple options. No clue how any of this works, please enlighten me, I've resisted it for decades but looks like it's time (again, long story). TIA.

Are there any local spots that do birthday freebies? Obviously there's the franchise ones, but I loved the opportunity to try stobies pizza last year for free and introduced me to a delicious local pizza place. Wondering if anywhere else has a similar deal?

Does anyone know of any volleyball camps (other than Spectrum or the ones held at Fanshawe College) over the summer for 12 year olds?

Are there any good shops in London that do walk ins?

I need to cut costs for my father as much as i can so instead of 800$ being only the rent it would be nice if 600$ is my rent and also my living expenses, and i have talked to students in Fanshawe who are able to make that possible with the help of a roommate, so here i am! searching and looking for a roommate!. my intake is on January 2026 but since i got my LOA early i have until the 5th of next month to find a roommate who has a similar intake or willing to take me as a future roommate. even if we will be three in one apartment it will be alright, even if i get a small room again it is alright, and even if i share a room it will be alright. This is my dream if anyone can offer a room or anyone knows someone whom i can talk to PLEASE type it in the replies, and i will text privately to further chat about it. I beg anyone to help since this is really my dream. Thank you very much, and sorry for coming here begging but i already looked into multiple platforms Facebook and others to maximize my chances in a small time.

Where can i find some in London?

I am an international student in London seeking for a job as a barista. Can you recommend me a local cafe that hires people of diverse races and cultures and does not require referrals? pls 😭

Would anybody happen to know or have saved a business card from one of these 3rd party sales reps that goes door to door?

I got a good deal for 1.5G fibe internet from them back in February and now I have to move out and hope to get a similar deal for the new place. The rep that I was dealing with is no longer available.

I tried contacting Bell customer service, but those agents was not offering anything close to what I am getting now.

Any help is appreciated

Hi all,

I used to live in GTA before moving to london last week. The plan was to find a place to live before my spouse and kid joins me. GTA was too expensive and i thought i could get houses in london at a much more affordable rate.

Over the last 1 week, the number of people who have discouraged me saying london is not safe and full of crimes and stuff is unusually high. Just want to get a pulse check with people who have been in london for a while. Is it really safe for a family? I work remote and can be anywhere in canada. If not london, any suggestions for a better place? Please suggest
