Neighbourhood guide
What it is like to live in Argyle
Argyle is a large, established neighbourhood in east London, built mostly after the Second World War. It takes in Pottersburg, Nelson Park, Trafalgar Heights, the Hale Street District and the Gorhamclarke Triangle. Homes are mostly single detached, with some townhouses and small apartment buildings. Prices sit well below the London average, which makes it one of the city’s more practical places to buy a family home. Residents call themselves EOA, East of Adelaide, and the community association runs its own Santa Claus parade and Canada Day fireworks.
Parks are a real strength. Kiwanis Park follows Pottersburg Creek from Trafalgar Street to just south of Dundas, with a skateboard park, spray pad, sports fields and trails. East Lions Park holds the East Lions Community Centre, with an indoor pool, gym and artisans centre. Dundas Street East is lined with family run and national businesses, and CBC has reported its growing name as London’s Little India. Fanshawe College and the airport are both close by.
There are trade offs. City reports and CBC have described the Dundas corridor as unattractive and hard to walk, with poor lighting and sidewalks, and the local business association has paid for private security to deal with theft and vandalism. Royal LePage describes the area as car oriented, even though everyday errands are within walking distance. A city improvement plan for the corridor aims to change that over time.

London to London, 1927
On September 7, 1927, two pilots left the Crumlin Road airfield chasing Carling’s $25,000 prize for the first flight to London, England. They vanished over the Atlantic, and the stamps printed for the flight became some of Canada’s rarest.

In 2026, Argyle houses had a median list price around $520,000 and townhouses around $340,000, with the lowest listings near $170,000. For a specific street, the honest answer is to look at what has actually sold there recently.
The name appears to come from an Argyle Park subdivision advertised by the Argyle Land Company around 1914. It reflects the Scottish roots of many Londoners.
Most homes were built after the Second World War, with about 40% dating from the 1960s and 1970s. Newer areas on the east and south edges were added in the past two decades.
A growing number of South Asian restaurants and businesses along Dundas Street East led to the nickname. CBC reported on it in 2023.
Kiwanis Park runs along Pottersburg Creek with a skateboard park, spray pad and trails. East Lions Park has the East Lions Community Centre with an indoor pool and gym, and there is an off leash dog park near the river.
Yes. Fanshawe College’s main campus is roughly 2 km from the centre of Argyle, about a 10 minute bike ride or 5 minute drive.
