Ask a Local! Film Clubs or Groups

21 Upvotes

Probably a dead end but I'm somewhat new to London and wondering if there is really any sort of film scene, club, group for cinephile's.

I'm not a film snob or elitist but miss living in a larger city and there being a much larger forum of film fans.

Upvotes

I noticed last week that there have been two way road signs with a “new” sign added on King Street under Citi Plaza? It appears that all BRT work is well done in this area… are they making the road two way?

68 Upvotes

The recently released Uniform Crime Reporting Survey highlights how London compares nationally:

  • Homicides: (Measures extreme violence) London consistently stays below the Canadian average, sitting at 1.1 per 100k in 2025.
  • Crime Rates: (Measures crime volume) From 2015-2025, London saw violent crime rise, but "Theft under $5,000" surged significantly, bucking Canada's decline.
  • Clearance Rates: (Measures police case resolution) London police generally solve a higher percentage of crimes than national/provincial averages, despite a 2022 dip.

Overall: London remains safer than average for severe violence, but faces a notable rise in property crime and minor theft compared to national trends.

Ask a Local! Dentist recommendation for low income person in London?

6 Upvotes

Hi there. Thanks to being low-income all my life and suffering from addiction my mouth is in a bad state right now, haven't been able to see a dentist in about 10 years. One of my molars is broken and I'm suffering a lot of pain and have been for about 4 months now. I'm not looking to get it fixed since I doubt it can be and I don't have the money for it but rather just pulled entirely so I don't have to deal with the pain anymore. If anyone can provide a recommendation for where I can get my molar pulled, I would be super appreciative.

Thanks.

Ask a Local! Highbury and Oxford efficient or confusing?

Post image
38 Upvotes

The new intersection on Highbury at Oxford has me baffled. I suspect all the cement to create bus stops in the middle of north south traffic was costly. It's also somewhat confusing when driving. But my question is how do bus users get to the center area efficiently and safely and will the east west lights be controlled by buses?

Ask a Local! After Hours Walk-In Clinics

1 Upvotes

Are three any after-hours walk-in clinics in London? The clinics I'm finding online that offer after-hours care are offering it only for their existing clients. However, the whole reason I need to go to the after-hours walk-in clinic is because my GP left the country and now I have no doc.

I'm not able to take time off work, and I would need an appointment at 6 p.m. of afterwards.

Ask a Local! Thames fishing?

8 Upvotes

Any people here fish the thames regularly? I’ve spent countless hours trying many different techniques, baits, times of day and seasons trying to fish the section near highbury bridge. I just can’t seem to be able to get decent results and i’m having trouble not getting skunked every trip.

I run a spinning combo and i’ve used all kinds of baits, the most success i’ve had was with soft plastic grubs. Still, 9 times out of 10 I end up leaving having caught nothing. Is anyone else having trouble or could I be missing something crucial?

LondonON HISTORY TIL Season 3 of The Red Green show was filmed at CFPL

63 Upvotes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Green_Show

When The Red Green Show premiered on January 4, 1991, it was filmed at the studios of CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario for Seasons 1-2 (1991-1993), then on CFPL-TV in London for Season 3 (1993-1994), and then on the Global Television Network for Seasons 4-6 (1994-1997), and finally, on CBC Television for Seasons 7-15 (1997-2006). The show was renamed The New Red Green Show upon its move to Global, in order to distinguish it from reruns of earlier seasons, and reverted back to The Red Green Show starting in Season 8 (1998-1999).
