London is the largest city in the Canadian region of Southwestern Ontario, with a metropolitan area population of 543,551 as of 2021. London is home to 19 completed buildings that stand taller than 75 metres (246 ft), five of which are taller than 100 m (328 ft) as of 2026. The tallest building in the city is the 40-storey, Centro South Tower, which was completed in 2025. The second tallest building is the 24-storey, 109 m (358 ft) One London Place, which was the tallest building in the city from 1992 to 2025. Since the mid-2010s, London has seen an influx of residential high-rises, similar to other cities in Southern Ontario such as Kitchener or Hamilton.

No high-rises were constructed in London during the first half of the 20th century, with the tallest building in the city being the nine-storey Huron and Erie Building, which was built in 1931. The 1960s saw the arrival of the city's first residential and commercial high-rises. The City Centre Towers, a twin office tower complex, was completed in 1974, becoming the city's two tallest buildings and a centrepiece of London's skyline. The taller south tower reaches a height of 92 m (301 ft). The towers were the tallest buildings in Southwestern Ontario until 1992, when One London Place was completed.

In the 21st century, London's skyline is increasingly characterized by residential high-rise buildings, driven by the city's high population growth. The city is undergoing a high-rise construction boom. Since 2018, four buildings taller than 100 m (328 ft) have risen in London, compared to only one beforehand, that being One London Place. Upon its completion in 2025, Centro South Tower became the tallest building in London and the tallest building in Canada between Mississauga and Calgary. London's tallest buildings are concentrated in the city's downtown, which is located east of the confluence of the Thames River and North Thames River.
