Longwoods — Named for a War of 1812 Battle, Now Southwest London's Quiet Corner

A family-friendly southwest London neighbourhood named after the 1814 Battle of Longwoods, with mature trees and streets named for Canadian artists.

Longwoods takes its name from a real War of 1812 battle: on March 4, 1814, a mounted American raiding party defeated an attempt by British regulars, Canadian militia volunteers, and Indigenous allies to intercept them near what's now Wardsville, Ontario, southwest of London. Today's Longwoods neighbourhood, in southwest London, is a peaceful, family-friendly area known for mature trees and well-kept homes, appealing to families, professionals, and long-term homeowners. Its main subdivision in the north end features single-detached homes and one townhouse complex, with many streets named after significant Canadian artists. Paul Haggis Park, with a play structure, swing set, baseball diamond, and soccer field, serves the neighbourhood, which sits close to White Oaks Mall.
