North West London is one of the most diverse, dense, and rapidly growing regions of the city.  Dominated by the Western University campus and associated colleges and institutions – Brescia College, Huron College, King’s College, St Peter’s Seminary, University Hospital, the Robarts Research Institute, Windermere Conference Centre, Research Park, and more – the surrounding neighbourhoods are home to many of Western’s students and a mix of high and medium-density housing that gives way to dynamic single-family communities.  The Masonville shopping district sits close to the university and anchors both mature neighbourhoods and growing developments like Fox Hollow, Sunningdale, and west to Hyde Park. 
The area also hosts numerous parks, trails, restaurants and other attractions.
