Old North
Tree-lined streets and grand century homes minutes from Western University.
About Old North
Old North sits between Oxford Street and Western University, bounded by Richmond Street to the west and Adelaide Street to the east. It’s arguably London’s most sought-after established neighbourhood — grand two- and three-storey houses on wide, tree-canopied streets like Waterloo, Sydenham, and St. James.
Housing is a mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian revival singles on generous lots, with a scattering of well-integrated 1960s–70s custom builds. Streets closer to Gibbons Park have some of the highest values in the city.
Old North offers a rare combination for London: heritage character, direct proximity to Western University (about 5 minutes by car, 15 minutes on foot from the north edge), and walkability to Richmond Row’s shops and restaurants. Gibbons Park is the anchor — 41 acres along the Thames with a wading pool, tennis courts, and the Thames Valley Parkway.
