Neighbourhood guide
What it is like to live in Highland
Highland is a residential neighbourhood in south London, Ontario, built around the Highland Country Club. It generally runs from Commissioners Road to Southdale Road, between Wharncliffe Road South and Wellington Road. In the 1920s this was farmland in Westminster Township, south of the city line at Emery Street. The golf club opened in 1922, before most of the homes. As London grew south, the farms filled with houses and the area took the club’s name. The wider planning district also takes in Lockwood Park, Mountsfield, Norton Estates and Cleardale.
Green space is what sets Highland apart. Wellington Road and Wharncliffe Road on either side are busy commercial corridors, yet the streets between them hold large parks. Mitches Park has a full soccer field, tennis courts, a play structure and a running track. Highland Woods Park has a playground, basketball court and walking path. The Earl Nichols Recreation Centre has three arena pads and a meeting room with a full kitchen. The country club offers private golf and curling and hosts weddings and events, and the Highland Community Curling Club runs on its own.
Homes come at many price points, from townhouse condos and high rises around Sandringham Crescent and Wilkins Street, to average detached homes on streets like Ferndale Avenue, to larger properties around the golf club. Shopping, restaurants and LTC bus stops sit on both corridors, which is why local realtors call it a good place to raise a family. There are trade offs. Commercial traffic is heavy on Wellington and Wharncliffe, rapid transit construction continues on the east side, and prices differ a lot between the condo pockets and the streets near the club.

01
A clubhouse in a farmhouse
When Highland opened in 1922, its first clubhouse was a farmhouse on Commissioners Road, and a barn served as the locker room.
-
02
The club that shorted a legend
Highland reportedly refused to pay course architect Stanley Thompson his full fee for not completing the work, after he turned heavy clay farmland with no running water into a course.
-
03
A neighbourhood named for its golf course
The course came first. The farmland around it filled with homes as London grew south, and the whole neighbourhood took the club’s name.
