★ How Far Away Are You
Find your town, check your drive!
Approximate driving times to 845 Florence Street. Add a little for a Saturday afternoon.
Half an hour or less
Close enough for a weeknight after work.

About an hour
Worth making a proper day of it.
Around 100 kilometres
Still a comfortable drive. This is where a hotel starts to make sense.
★ Times are approximate and assume clear roads. Weekend afternoons are the busiest.
★ Getting Here
Four ways to arrive!
By train
VIA Rail runs into London station downtown, a short bus ride or taxi from the grounds. A good option from Toronto, Kitchener, Woodstock or Windsor if you would rather not drive at all.
By car
845 Florence Street, London. Off Highway 401 take Highbury Avenue north, then follow the signs into Old East Village. Free parking sits directly across from the grounds, and accessible parking is right in front of the Sports Centre.
By bus
Fare to the Fair means your Fair ticket is also your bus ticket. Show it to the LTC driver and ride free, both ways, on any day of the Fair. No parking to find and no walk back to the car at the end of the night.
On foot or by bike
If you live in Old East Village or nearby, walking in is the easiest way to do it. The Thames Valley Parkway connects much of the city by bike, and you can lock up near the gates.
