The walkable heart of Old South — named one of Canada's best neighbourhoods.
Wortley Village is the walkable, restaurant-and-shop-filled core of Old South, centered on Wortley Road between Askin Street and Bruce Street. The Canadian Institute of Planners has named it among Canada’s Great Neighbourhoods on multiple occasions.
Housing immediately surrounding the Village is a mix of restored Victorian and Edwardian singles, character bungalows, and the occasional heritage duplex. Streets like Bruce, Emery, Askin, and Duchess have some of London’s most sought-after century homes. Prices carry a premium over the broader Old South, reflecting the walkability and the reality that Wortley Village listings often sell within days.
The Village itself is anchored by Old East Wortley (bakery, café), The Village Idiot (pub), Black Walnut (café), Fire Roasted Coffee, Doo Bakery, and a rotating cast of independent shops.
