Location
Welcome to Uplands! A premier neighbourhood tucked in the northeast end of London, Ontario. Located just shy of the outskirts of the city, this area is highly regarded by Londoners. The border of this neighborhoods go from Adelaide Street to the Uplands Trails and from Sunningdale to Virginia Park.

Due to expansion, not all the subdivisions in Uplands are complete. The north end of the neighbourhood is currently underway.
The majority of houses – which are single detached – began development in the 1990’s through to the 2000’s.
