There are those who argue that London is no longer the Forest City. From where I sit on Lookout Court in southwest London, in the former Byron community, The Forest City seems a perfect moniker for our town.
According to the London St. Thomas Association of Realtors,
London received its nickname of The Forest City from the British Government to poke fun at Governor Simcoe, as he envisioned a prominent, prosperous city at The Forks of the Thames, when it was only a time village carved out of the centre of a forest. Since then, London has prospered and continues to live up to the name "The Forest City" by caring for, continually planting and respecting the history of its trees.

Looks real beautiful!
In reply to your query on my post - That is a skywalk, a safe place for pedestrians to walk but most of the people still prefer to walk on the street to buy stuff from the hawkers, on their way to work or home.
Totally beautiful. I miss fall in the US and yours is lovely, too.
