London, Ontario is a city of 422,000 people on the Thames, two hours from Toronto and two from Detroit, with a referral hospital system for two million people, a university and a college with sixty thousand students, insurance and manufacturing head offices, a courthouse, an arena, a festival calendar and an airport of its own - and LondonLimo.net's nine London guides describe it as the chauffeurs drive it: the attractions, the events calendar, Western, Fanshawe and the colleges, the government and the courts, the head offices and business districts, the hospitals, the hotels, the venues and arenas and the neighbourhoods. Each has the drives, the doors, the fixed in-city rates and the bookings as they actually ran, and each links to the service that delivers them.
The city in the chauffeurs' terms
Downtown at the forks with the arena, the convention centre, the market, the courthouse and City Hall; Old North and the campus to the north with University Hospital at its edge; Old South and Wortley Village across the river; Byron and the ski hill to the west; Masonville and the new subdivisions north; White Oaks, Wellington Road, Victoria Hospital and the 401 to the south; the airport, the plants and Fanshawe to the east. The neighbourhoods page has the drive times from each to the airport, the hospitals, the campus and the arena, and the rates page the in-city figures.
Who the guides are for
A visitor planning a day between the forks and the ski hill; a family flying in for a convocation or a wedding; a patient's family here for a hospital week; an executive with a plant to visit and a flight to catch; a lawyer with a trial; a fan with a ticket; a company with a delegation; and a London household that wants the fixed rate from its own street to all of it. The services hub has the fifteen services, the airports hub the flights in, and the destinations hub the region around.
