The YOU Made It Cafe is on the first floor of the Cornerstone Building, which sits at the Northeast corner of Richmond Street and York Street in Downtown London. Originally built as the Grigg House Hotel in 1877, the cafe boasts many original design features, such as the original tile floor, with updated touches throughout, and has a capacity of 60. This four-floor building has a yellow brick exterior with arched windows and a rooftop patio. The second and third floors are private housing owned by Youth Opportunities Unlimited. A full working kitchen hides behind the front-of-house area.

Fresh, never-seen locations, access to hard-to-book spaces like our airport and university, and a warm welcome for filming with plenty of support services… London, Ontario is open for business to the film and television industry for productions large and small.   

London can be whenever or wherever you want us to be. We have streetscapes and architecture that can stand in for cities across North America. Gorgeous in any season, ‘The Forest City’ is the 11th largest metropolitan area in Canada, capable of hosting any size of production. Our anchor position in Southwestern Ontario gives us access to rural, agricultural and unique small townscapes.  

We’re only 2 hours down the highway from Toronto, 1 ½ hours from Hamilton, and have an international airport, GoTrain and Via Rail access. Best of all, we boast a strong and growing local talent and crew capability. Our film office and the city are dedicated to providing location support, smooth permitting, access to reasonable accommodations and a positive production experience for local, national and international filmmakers.
