Downtown Loop Construction

The Downtown Loop project for the Rapid Transit System has begun in the core, and construction impacts Ridout Street and the surrounding area. There is a road closure from just north of Fullarton St. to the corner of Ridout St. and Queens Ave. While there is a road closure, Eldon House remains open and accessible via our main gate, located on Ridout and Fullerton. The included map shows the path of construction.  This is a map of the downtown core indicating road closures along Ridout Street North, as well as municipal parking lots.

Various surrounding parking lots are accessible, and the City of London is offering discounts on municipal lots using the Honk app. The passcode ‘CORE’ will allow visitors to access free parking for two hours in designated lots.

More information on the construction, as well as updates and contact information can be found here: https://getinvolved.london.ca/downtownloop 

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron. We honour and respect the history, languages and culture of the diverse Indigenous people who call this territory home.

We acknowledge all the treaties that are specific to this area: the Two Row Wampum Belt Treaty of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy/Silver Covenant Chain; the Beaver Hunting Grounds of the Haudenosaunee NANFAN Treaty of 1701; the McKee Treaty of 1790, the London Township Treaty of 1796, the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827, with the Anishinaabeg, and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum of the Anishnaabek and Haudenosaunee.

The three Indigenous Nations that are neighbours to London are the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation; Oneida Nation of the Thames; and the Munsee-Delaware Nation who all continue to live as sovereign Nations with individual and unique languages, cultures, and customs.
