Featured in This Old House

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.
