The establishment of a British Army garrison in London in 1838, brought many things to the small town at the forks. London’s first theatrical production was performed a year later by the garrison’s officers in an unfinished Methodist church on Wellington Street. Many of these officers were also the first trained artists to capture views of the town and its surroundings.

Woodland Cemetery Walking Tour
Woodland Cemetery was opened in 1879. The emphasis was placed on natural beauty, combining winding paths, trees and shrubs with the surrounding memorials. The non-denominational, 77-acre cemetery is located at 493 Springbank Drive and is managed by St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral. St. Paul's closed its 26-acre cemetery at Dundas and Rectory Streets when the village of London East passed a by-law prohibiting burials within the village limits.
