The Lethbridge Herald recently ran an article on the neighbourhood:
London Road Neighbourhood Association is in the spotlight after being named one of 12 Best Old House Neighbourhoods in Canada — a project of This Old House Magazine.
Sharon Hudemka, London Road’s president, said the recognition validates what residents already know and love about their neighbourhood, but just what impact the notoriety will have on the city remains to be seen.
“I don’t know how they ever found us — how out of the millions of places out there they figured out Lethbridge, Alberta existed,” Hudemka said.

CTV recently did a news story on the London Road Neighbourhood.
Our neighbourhood was featured in This Old House magazine as one of the best old house neighbourhoods of 2011.
Back in the 1980s, Shell Oil announced plans to demolish a century-old Edwardian-era house in the London Road neighborhood and build a gas station in its place. In response, the London Road Neighbourhood Association immediately circulated a petition, quickly acquiring enough signatures to thwart Shell’s plan. Preservation: 1, Big Oil: 0.
