CFB London, Military facility in London, Canada
CFB London is a military installation in London, Ontario, housing operational buildings and training facilities that support various units within the regional defense network. The site contains workshops, storage areas, and administrative offices that serve military personnel on a daily basis.
The installation began in 1880 as Wolseley Barracks and operated as a military garrison for over a century before being renamed CFB London in 1966. This change coincided with the national reorganization of the Canadian Armed Forces.
The base serves as a gathering place where military ceremonies and community events bring together uniformed personnel and local residents. These occasions shape how the installation is woven into the daily fabric of the city.
The base is conveniently located near major transportation routes and easily accessible by car. Visitors should be aware that access to certain areas is restricted and that security protocols apply throughout the grounds.
Wolseley Hall, a historic building on the grounds, was recognized as a National Historic Site in 1963 and documents the region's military past. The structure remains in active use by the Technical Services Platoon, merging historical importance with modern-day operations.
