★ 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.
