London is great, but sometimes you just can't beat the taste of something from home. With a large Canadian population, it's not as difficult to find a piece of home in the UK as you might think!
Sitting proudly off of Trafalgar Square in a prime location is Canada House, home of the Canadian High Commission. Spot your provincial flag on the outside of the building! Open from Monday to Friday, you can wander inside to check your email from back home, or sometimes take in exhibits by Canadian artists.
If it's something more tangible from home that you're craving, take a dive off of Covent Garden to the Canada Shop. At shocking prices, you can find elusive maple syrup or Molson's beer, along with a whole variety of Canadian goods.
Just down the street from the Canada Shop is The
Maple Leaf Pub, a favourite of many Canadians living in London. With Molson on-tap and hockey on the TV, you'll feel like you never left Canada. On Canada Day, the whole pub and the street outside is swarming with Canadians -- and other nationalities who need no excuse for a party!
So, if you're longing for a piece of home in a foreign land, rest comfortably -- you're never too far from your Molson's!
