People lounge on sidewalk patios and sip cappuccinos, while window shoppers eye everything from art and antiques to kittens and dresses. A European capital? No, it's actually Wortley Village on a typical summer morning. Nestled in London’s Old South neighbourhood, Wortley Village is best known for its 19th-century homes, eclectic array of shops and cafes, walkability and a name as one of the most-coveted places to live in London. The village within a city has been nominated in the best-neighbourhood category in the Great Places Canada competition, a yearly contest sponsored by the Canadian Institute of Planners recognizing the country’s favourite streets, public places and neighbourhoods.
