About the Riding
London North Centre is defined by its concentration of post-secondary institutions and health-care facilities. Western University enrolls approximately 30,000 students and is one of the city's largest employers. Victoria Hospital, part of the London Health Sciences Centre, anchors the riding's southern portion. The presence of a large student electorate and a professional class employed in education and health care gave the riding a distinct character compared to London's more industrial constituencies. By 2015, downtown London was experiencing a modest revitalization, with technology firms and a growing digital creative sector establishing themselves in the urban core.
