St. Thomas Travel Guide

Welcome to St. Thomas!

The city of St. Thomas is considered to be part of Greater London and is located in the heart of southwestern Ontario, approximately half way between Detroit to the west and Toronto on the east. This bustling city is also known as the railway capital of Canada due to the current 26 railway lines that channel through the city limits. Elgin County Railway Museum offers an option for visitors to gain insight and knowledge into the extensive history of railway in the area. Although St Thomas has a reservoir, just a five-minute drive south will bring residents and visitors alike to Lake Erie. This great lake is the largest body of water in close proximity and can be used for public swimming, recreation and boating. St Thomas, although a relatively small city, offers a well-developed art and theatre scene. The Princess Adventure Playhouse acts as a venue for Elgin Theatre Guild performances. Elgin Public Art Centre is just one of the many gallery and art centres that attract art enthusiasts from the area.
