If only you could see dowtown London from the 401, other than by the weigh scales by Putnam and just before Westchester Bourne Road.

I think One London Place is JUST beneath the tree line if you are on the Pond Mills overpass on the 401. I think I have caught a glimpse of it before hand.

It also has been said that London is somewhat like a bowl, with downtown in the centre. You definitely drive higher in elevation to the west (Byron/Snake Hill/Oakridge), higher to the south (gradual climb along Wellington by Commissioners) and higher to the north (the climb up Richmond just north of Masonville).

Only to the east do I believe it stays relatively flat, which co-incidentally is where you can best see downtown London from a distance greater than 10-15 km.
