Travel to London

London has a small international airport that is serviced by United, Air Canada, and WestJet.  You can rent a car at the airport, and a taxi ride to campus costs about $40 CAD. 

If flying into the Toronto Pearson International Airport or the Detroit Metro Aiport, the Robert Q shuttle service travels between these two airports and London.

An alternative to flying into the Toronto Pearson International Airport is to travel to the Toronto City Airport. Porter Airlines provides flights to the Toronto City Airport, which is then accessible by train to London, through VIA Rail.

The recommended land border crossings from the US are: (from New York state) Buffalo (Peace Bridge - more direct) and Niagara Falls (Rainbow Bridge, more scenic - obviously) and (from Michigan) Sarnia (Blue Water Bridge). The Windsor/Detoit and Queenston/Lewiston crossings are often slow with heavy truck traffic.  Border wait times can be checked here. The document requirements are the same for the land border crossings as for airports.

If you are driving to London, here are directions to the University campus:

From the 401

• Take the Wellington St. exit north (#186).
• When Wellington St. ends (at Pall Mall St.), turn left and go 1 block.
• When Pall Mall St. ends, turn right onto Richmond St.
• Continue north approximately 2 km to the east entrance to UWO.
• The entrance is marked by the UWO gates and you’ll see the gates on your left very soon after Richmond St. bends left. (Note, this is the only east entrance to UWO. If you drive by it, turn left at the first stop light (Windermere Rd.), then left again at the second stoplight (Western Rd.) and enter campus from the west entrance.)

From the 402

• Take the Highway 81 exit north (#65).
• Turn right at the first stoplight onto Highway 22 east. Highway 22 becomes Fanshawe Park Rd.
• Take Fanshawe Park Rd. all the way into London, turning right onto Richmond St just after going down a large hill.
• After about 1 km, Richmond St. curves left.
• At that point, continue going (essentially) straight by exiting off of Richmond St. onto Western Rd.
• Continue about 500 m to the west entrance to UWO.
