Every year, several generous homeowners throughout the nearby London, Ontario, area invite the city’s top designers and merchants to decorate their beautiful homes for the holiday season and then welcome the public to tour through and view the spectacular results. This year’s 23rd annual Holiday Home Tour will take place Nov. 2-4.
For each of the past 22 years, the Thames Valley Children's Centre Auxiliary has organized this popular event to raise funds for the Thames Valley Children's Centre, which provides indispensable services for children and youth with physical disabilities, communication disorders, developmental challenges and autism spectrum disorders.
Londoners and visitors to the city have embraced this important cause with thousands of guests participating in the tour each year, enabling the Auxiliary to donate over $1,100,000 to the Children's Centre.
A twilight tour, from 6 to 10 p.m., will be held on Nov. 2, with daylight tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 3 and 4. The gorgeous homes to be showcased are located at 57 Sir Robert Place, 1050 Wellington Gardens, 848 Hellmuth Ave., 286 St. James St. and 315 St. George St.
