List of tallest buildings in London, Ontario
London is the largest city in Southwestern Ontario. In London, there are 16 buildings that stand taller than 70 metres (230 ft). The tallest building in the city is the 24-storey, 113.4 m (372 ft) One London Place.[1] This building is the tallest office building in Ontario outside of Toronto and Ottawa. Originally there were plans to construct a twin tower called Two London Place, however, due to the recession of the early ’90s, this structure was never built.
