This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for London, Ontario. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Ontario or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of London and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to London.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

London is a city in Middlesex, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a major city. London is located at 42.9675°N, 81.2325°W.
London rests upon a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Thames River, which shapes the low-lying terrain near the Cobble Hills. It lies 21.1 km north of St. Thomas, ON (from St. Thomas, ON: bearing 350°T), and is situated 12.2 km south-east of Ettrick. The air here holds a distinct moisture during the autumn months, catching the silvered light of late afternoons as it settles over the land. Beyond the immediate banks, the Westminster Ponds Natural Area offers a quiet refuge where the earth feels soft and damp underfoot, providing a stark contrast to the paved arteries that connect the urban core. Nearby, The Cove remains a focal point of the local geography, anchoring the visual horizon where the water lingers in the shallow depressions of the basin. The early development of London followed the natural logic of the river, which served as a primary conduit for movement and settlement in the nineteenth century. Colonists and surveyors recognized the strategic value of the forks, establishing a seat of government that prioritized accessibility to the surrounding fertile plains. The growth of London accelerated as rail lines intersected with the traditional water routes, turning a nascent administrative outpost into a central hub for commerce. Even now, the older brick structures downtown retain a weight and permanence, standing as physical reminders of the initial ambition that drew people to settle along the banks of the Thames River. The economy of London thrives through a blend of manufacturing, health care, and professional services that serve the broader regional population. Many industries here operate with a focus on precision, drawing from a local workforce that maintains a steady, industrious output. The presence of significant academic institutions, such as Western University and Fanshawe College, provides a constant infusion of intellectual energy and specialized training that sustains the local market. As a center for southwestern operations, London functions as a reliable anchor, balancing the demands of modern commerce with the practical requirements of a regional supply chain. Cultural life in London finds expression through a variety of annual events and a long-standing appreciation for the arts, often drawing residents to public spaces during the warmer months. Notable figures have emerged from the local scene, including the actor Ryan Gosling and the writer Alice Munro, both of whom spent formative years engaging with the surroundings of this region. The Westminster Ponds Natural Area and the trails along the Thames River provide common ground for citizens to gather, fostering a shared connection to the physical environment. Whether attending a performance or walking the paths near the water, those who inhabit London contribute to a character defined by a quiet, persistent engagement with the land.

Detailed location data for London includes the postal code (N6C), telephone area code (226, 249, 289, 343, 365, 382, 416, 437, 519, 548, 613, 647, 705, 742, 807, 905). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for London is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
