Gail: Not sure that you have lived in many different places but I have, and in my experience most people don't even know where London is.."somewhere in Ontario". According to Macleans magazine, it is the 37th ranked city for overall crime....which means if you live in any "city" now, there's a good chance its' crime rate is higher tham London. In my experience, more people associate London with "Sleepy Hollow" than a crime city. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but statistics don't bear out your generalization.
