Since 1999, SkyscraperPage.com's forum has been one of the most active skyscraper enthusiast communities on the web. The global membership discusses development news and construction activity on projects from around the world, alongside discussions on urban design, architecture, transportation and many other topics. SkyscraperPage.com also features unique skyscraper diagrams, a database of construction activity, and publishes popular skyscraper posters.
Is this is a list of options from which we are to choose, or is this your top 10?
If the latter, I really hope by "courthouse" you mean the old courthouse, not the new one. The new(er) one is perhaps the ugliest building in London, and certainly its most visible abomination.
Also, what do you mean by favourite? Best-looking? Inside and outside or only inside?
Here's my top buildings (in no particular order) best-looking from the outside
St. Paul's old Rectory (Richmond and Dufferin)
Dominion Public Bldg
London Life
201 Queens (Clarence and Queens) - this one is contentious, I know
Middlesex College
Labatt Arts Pavilion
Wellington Street Red-brick Apartments
Delta Armouries (New and old parts together)
"Italianate Row" - buildings on East side of Richmond between King and York
new Manufacturing Centre at Fanshawe
Talbot Centre (except I HATE the mall inside - I really wish they had made the businesses face onto Fullarton)
Old Courthouse
St. Peter's Cathedral
110? Cherryhill (the tall one) - also contentious, I know
Some of the Ugliest Buildings in London:
Social Science Centre @ UWO
New Courthouse
Drewlo Apartments on Dundas
White Oaks Mall
University Hospital
Centennial House Apartments

shamefully looks down over the Thames, Harris park, etc.

I'm indifferent to White Oaks Mall. The 1988 addition is nice at least.

I love our crazy brutalist courthouse. Well...maybe love is the wrong word...but I respect it. It looks so ominous and foreboding...powerful...like the strong arm of justice!
And if London ever dumps our mayor and opts for an evil overlord, his office (or throne room) would fit in perfectly in the top floor of that building. With a few decorative touches, some dark clouds, and some circling vultures...that place would make a wicked evil headquarters.

^ a perfect setting for Friday nite lights. Move the patio to that decrepit concrete mezzanine hallway. If ol Timmy Best decides to get loaded, he can go to court (do not pass go, do not collect $200)

The old post office is definitely a winner. There's also an unnamed building on Wellington across from Vic Park near Centennial Hall that I've always liked.
