London - small town charm with big city benefits
The Community - London, OH
London is a city in Madison County located approximately 30 minutes (25 miles) southeast of Columbus. London has a population of roughly 10,000 people.
Being so close to the capital offers London's residents a variety of entertainment sources while still having the advantage of living in a cozy, charming small town. London itself has a lot to offer its residents in terms of dining, recreation, entertainment, and more. The architecture of the city has a historical feel calling back to the founding of the town in 1811. The city is very focused on community involvement, so there is no shortage of things to do. Residents can live that small-town life with plenty of open park spaces, Victorian style homes, and the annual Olde Fashioned Christmas event. Whatever you need, you can find it in London and its surrounding cities.
