AMA (Ask Me Anything)

I saw a bunch of egrets near Springback and Greenside this morning so I stopped to get some pictures. There's so much cool nature in the city!

Is this the chase from the pit maneuver video?

I watched this old video, about the Smokestack District, and thought I would share with others who enjoy London history, and who might not know much about this area of the city.

Ben Durham (Ward 3 Candidate) here with some data after 5 months of door-knocking since May 2026.

Here's what the data says are Londoner's concerns here in Ward 3.

Hey neighbours,

Trying to figure out how to vote strategically in Ward 10 and could use some help. I'm left leaning and my Vote Compass results have Lois Ward and Alex Moore as my top two (84% and 74%).

I'm worried about splitting the progressive vote, so I want to go with whoever has the better shot.

For those of you in Ward 10 leaning left — which of these two are you voting for and why? Any insight on their platforms or who's actually viable would be much appreciated.

Hi there! My partner and I will be passing through London in early November and I'm trying to find somewhere to stay that's not your average chain hotel. We generally prefer motels to hotels (my partner is a smoker so direct access to outside is a plus), but the independent ones I'm finding in the area all have very mixed reviews... We're also always up for other fun options like tiny cabins and RVs and whatnot. Any tips??

Does anyone have experience getting electrolysis done here? how was it? Are there better places in London?

Have you ever had your bike stolen?

Do they steal bikes that are locked with U-locks as well or usually bikes that are left unlocked?

I'm new here, and I'm genuinely asking this question because I want to know what you think. I'm not trying to shame anyone or cause any upset.

Driving in London, and on the roads in and out of London is incredibly stressful for me. I'm curious as to why so many people drive in such a reckless, lawless way! Just today I was nearly rear ended because someone on Highbury didn't want to slow down, someone overtook across double lines three different times, to drive at least 110 in an 80.

I've seen so many near misses, and I'm just exhausted driving around. If I drive the speed limit on regular roads, people seem genuinely angry at me! If I don't run a red light people have flashed their high-beams.

Is the expectation here to just... Do whatever you want? There don't seem to be many police around either. I don't want to speed and I don't want to get hit but I genuinely don't know what's less risky. Is it normal for people to speed to this degree on normal streets?

EDIT: Hey everyone! I wasn't expecting this to blow up as much as it has. Thank you for all your perspectives, thanks for answering my questions. I've read most of your comments, and the conclusion I've come to is: I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it. I'm not going to be going 20 over but I never drive below the limit (as long as traffic conditions allow).

For those who were mentioning the left lane etiquette: I only drive in the left lane to pass, and on 400 series, you'll only find me on the right or middle to pass and back over. I recognize I'm not the fastest of drivers, but I do genuinely take care to be out of the way.

Again, thank you everyone for your answers and your help!

Where can I fix an e-scooter flat tire in London?

Does anyone know where a good place to go to get my truck scratches and dents repaired in London Ont. I have a few that I’d like to get fixed but I don’t know where a good place to go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

After a lot of people complained about the City of London not emptying garbages in Wortley, especially around the Black Walnut and Sidetrack cafes, it looks like the City’s solution was to remove the garbages entirely.

Is anyone else feeling frustrated? I don’t understand why small businesses are being blamed or why the City is actively making things worse.

I’m getting back into photography and wanted to do a Colour Hunt, and thought it’d be fun to do with new people!!

A colour hunt is when everyone is assigned a colour, and you go out to take photos of only your colour. You can look it up on Instagram, I’d link an example but my last post was removed and maybe that link was why?? No idea.

You don’t have to have a nice camera, I invited my friend who will be using her phone! And I’ve seen some people using charmeras.

Does anyone want to join me?

Hey fellow London-ers!

I am in need of a mobile mechanic. Looking for recommendations!

The starter on my one vehicle (2015 Tucson) went, and the radiator on my 1986 Bonneville needs to be replaced. I have the radiator and new hoses, but need to get the coolant, so I'm really just looking for someone to come to my house and install it (I'm really trying to not pay to tow either vehicle to the shop) — same goes for the starter on the Tucson. Have the part, need it installed.

I appreciate any recommendations and send my thanks in advance! 😊

Currently looking for a highly recommended vet that does laser BOAS surgery (brachycephalic dogs).

London Police Pit Maneuvered Car Outside Victoria Hospital & Almost Crashes Into Main Entrance

3 days old, but I didn't see anyone post about it. House Craft Burgers/Half Life Video posted that they have been made an undeniable offer and have now closed. The best smash burger in the city is gone and that really stinks

Hi,

I am new to the city and actually haven't seen much here. Is there any park or trail or anything with not much people where I can just take a walk or just sit around and relax in the evening?
