Nestled between Oxford Street and the CP Railway tracks, the Piccadilly Area neighbourhood is a coveted inner suburb in London, Ontario. Richmond Row borders the west, and it stretches just beyond Adelaide to Elizabeth Street in the east. The neighbourhood is bookended by Piccadilly Park to the west and McMahon Park to the east.

Built in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, no two houses or gardens are the same. Yellow and red brick facades, stained glass windows, and meticulously decorated apexes frame tree-lined streets. Wide boulevards invite active transportation, lending to the homey feel valued by residents.

Piccadilly Park features tennis courts, a half basketball court, and play structures. Students attend St. George’s Public, St. Michael Catholic elementary schools, and Central, H.B. Beal, or Catholic Central secondary schools. The Montessori Academy and many day care centres are also located here.

Neighbourhood strolls and dog walking are punctuated with friendly waves and sidewalk chats. Familiar faces greet you as you cycle or walk to downtown or the Thames Valley Parkway. Mixed-use buildings offer a cozy feel to cafés, diners, and businesses, enhancing the sense of communal belonging.
