After a quick couple of read-throughs this article appears to be at or about the right standard for GA. I will therefore start an in-depth review section by section, but leaving the
WP:Lead until last.

At this point in the review, I'm only highlighting "problems", everything else will be covered in the Overall summary section.
Note: London Free Press reorganized their website, and in the process made pretty much all of their articles unavailable. I've been unable to access them online, and thus have replaced all links to London Free Press with other sources, and removed material for which I could find no other reliable source. Cheers,

Ref 7 is a 320 page book, the relevant page or page numbers should be quoted in the citation.
The claim the "The City of London is currently the tenth-largest city in Canada, tenth-largest census metropolitan area in Canada, and the sixth-largest city in Ontario." is unreferenced.
This is a very short section with two sentences; the second sentence is unreferenced.
In the first sentence, ref 70 is cited to verify the statement "London is home to over 100 heritage properties, registered at all levels of government". However, the figure 100 does not appear (approximately 3,900 buildings are mentioned); and four Priority levels Priority 1, 2, 3 and 9 are defined, but I'm uncertain how this relates to "registered at all levels of government"
Transportation -
Road transportation, "London Ring Road" controversy and Future plans -
Ref 75 is a 93 page pdf report: it is called up eleven times. The relevant page number or page numbers should be quoted in the citation.
This is intended to provide both an introduction to the article and a summary of the main points. The lead, as it currently stands, is rather short and it is not all that effective as summary of the main points of the article. It could do with some expansion, possibly doubling in size.
