St Thomas northern city limit is only 3 miles from London southern city limit, a lot closer than the north, east and west arcs of that circle. The only reason London stretches so far south is because the province told the city to take all of the town of Westminster, rather than leaving a money losing piece of rural area. The city only really wanted Lambeth and maybe a couple concession roads south of the 401 along Wellington, possibly as far as the landfill, but I don't think so.

I think if the city had it to do again, they would have foregone Lambeth and pushed east and west more, Komoka to Dorchester if possible. But they also would have wanted more of the 401 within the city, rather than the little bit east of Wellington that was within the old boundary.
