Driving Directions

London can be reached by road using Highway 401 from Toronto (about 190 km) or from Windsor/Detroit (about 195 km) to Exit 186 (Downtown London). Follow Wellington Road north through downtown until it ends at Pall Mall Street, then turn left: the Station Park Inn will be on your right side. To reach Windermere Manor, continue along Pall Mall Street until Richmond Street (1 block), then turn right and follow Richmond Street north for about 3 kilometres to Windermere Road. Turn left on Windermere Road and continue just past Western Road: you will find the gate to Windermere Manor and the UWO Research Park on your right.

Information booths are located at the campus gates off Richmond Street and Western Road.
