Peter McGregor is considered to be the first European settler in London, Ontario, after making the journey from Scotland. Not only was he the first European settler, he was also London's first entrepreneur, and worked as a Jailer at the Old Courthouse. From 1825 until his death in 1846, Peter witnessed the booming growth of the city of London.
The Historical Tour of Downtown London offers a view of the city illustrated by local artist Robin Henry, and brought to life by anecdotes from the early days of London through the eyes of Peter McGregor, as narrated by local actor, playwright, and director, Dan Ebbs.
