Blackfriars
London, Ontario
Blackfriars is a small, fiercely proud heritage neighbourhood immediately north of downtown London, threaded along the Thames River with narrow one-block streets that dead-end at river trails. The community is anchored by the iconic Blackfriars Bridge — a wrought-iron span dating to 1875 and one of the oldest of its kind in Canada — and Labatt Memorial Park, recognized as the world's oldest operating baseball diamond in its original location. Victorian and Edwardian cottage-style homes, many within the Blackfriars/Petersville Heritage Conservation District, line its intimate streets.

What makes Blackfriars special
Schools
Jeanne-Sauvé French Immersion Public School on Wharncliffe Road North serves elementary students in the area. The neighbourhood's proximity to Old South also places it within reach of London South Collegiate Institute for secondary education.
Amenities
Labatt Memorial Park is a true London landmark, hosting the London Majors baseball team and connected to the Thames Valley Parkway trail system. Oxford and Wharncliffe provide access to transit and neighbourhood services, while the downtown core — Richmond Row, Budweiser Gardens, and the Grand Theatre — is a short walk across the Blackfriars Bridge.
Lifestyle
Blackfriars is a tightly knit urban village where neighbours look out for each other and the Blackfriars Neighbourhood Association actively shapes the area's future. The river trails, the historic bridge, and the proximity to downtown culture create a lifestyle that is simultaneously tranquil and cosmopolitan.
Homes in Blackfriars are listed from $389,900 to $1,199,000.
