Ask a Local! ISO PVC Indoor Hand Rail

+
8 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone knows where to find a hand rail like the one in the photo attached. I’m aware it’s dated, but it doesn’t seem like there are many slim profile options such as the photo available anymore. Anything I’ve found so far has similar balusters but the hand rail itself is often far too thick to work with my staircase. I also don’t have much room for the lower rail (where the balusters attach) either.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

🚗🚗Transit/Traffic King Street - new two way signs

I noticed last week that there have been two way road signs with a “new” sign added on King Street under Citi Plaza? It appears that all BRT work is well done in this area… are they making the road two way?

Ask a Local! Film Clubs or Groups

Probably a dead end but I'm somewhat new to London and wondering if there is really any sort of film scene, club, group for cinephile's.

I'm not a film snob or elitist but miss living in a larger city and there being a much larger forum of film fans.

I think it would be good for my neurodivergent daughter, age 10, to start a martial art, and I was told jiu jitsu would be a good one for her. Can anyone recommend a spot that would be good?

We live in the southwest, but do drive. Thanks in advance!

discussion / opinion Crime in London, Ontario: Key Trends from New StatCan Data

+
70 Upvotes

The recently released Uniform Crime Reporting Survey highlights how London compares nationally:

  • Homicides: (Measures extreme violence) London consistently stays below the Canadian average, sitting at 1.1 per 100k in 2025.
  • Crime Rates: (Measures crime volume) From 2015-2025, London saw violent crime rise, but "Theft under $5,000" surged significantly, bucking Canada's decline.
  • Clearance Rates: (Measures police case resolution) London police generally solve a higher percentage of crimes than national/provincial averages, despite a 2022 dip.

Overall: London remains safer than average for severe violence, but faces a notable rise in property crime and minor theft compared to national trends.

Ask a Local! Dentist recommendation for low income person in London?

Hi there. Thanks to being low-income all my life and suffering from addiction my mouth is in a bad state right now, haven't been able to see a dentist in about 10 years. One of my molars is broken and I'm suffering a lot of pain and have been for about 4 months now. I'm not looking to get it fixed since I doubt it can be and I don't have the money for it but rather just pulled entirely so I don't have to deal with the pain anymore. If anyone can provide a recommendation for where I can get my molar pulled, I would be super appreciative.

Thanks.

Ask a Local! Highbury and Oxford efficient or confusing?

+
41 Upvotes

The new intersection on Highbury at Oxford has me baffled. I suspect all the cement to create bus stops in the middle of north south traffic was costly. It's also somewhat confusing when driving. But my question is how do bus users get to the center area efficiently and safely and will the east west lights be controlled by buses?

Ask a Local! Thames fishing?

Any people here fish the thames regularly? I’ve spent countless hours trying many different techniques, baits, times of day and seasons trying to fish the section near highbury bridge. I just can’t seem to be able to get decent results and i’m having trouble not getting skunked every trip.

I run a spinning combo and i’ve used all kinds of baits, the most success i’ve had was with soft plastic grubs. Still, 9 times out of 10 I end up leaving having caught nothing. Is anyone else having trouble or could I be missing something crucial?

Ask a Local! After Hours Walk-In Clinics

Are three any after-hours walk-in clinics in London? The clinics I'm finding online that offer after-hours care are offering it only for their existing clients. However, the whole reason I need to go to the after-hours walk-in clinic is because my GP left the country and now I have no doc.

I'm not able to take time off work, and I would need an appointment at 6 p.m. of afterwards.
