'''London North''' was a provincial [[electoral district (Canada)|electoral district]] in [[Ontario]], [[Canada]].  It was first created for the [[1926 Ontario general election|1926 provincial election]] when the [[London (federal electoral district)|London]] riding was divided in two sections, and then eliminated prior to the [[1934 Ontario general election|1934 provincial election]] when the city was re-configured as a single seat.  London North was re-established for the [[1955 Ontario general election|1955 provincial election]] and retained until 1999, when most of its territory was integrated into the new riding of [[London North Centre (federal electoral district)|London North Centre]].

The riding was [[Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario|Progressive Conservative]] bastion for most of its history, and was represented by both [[Premier of Ontario|Premier]] [[John Robarts]] and [[Executive Council of Ontario|cabinet minister]] [[Gordon Walker (businessman)|Gordon Walker]] at different times.  [[Marvin Shore]] won the riding as a [[Ontario Liberal Party|Liberal]] in 1975, and [[crossed the floor]] to the Progressive Conservatives the following year.  Liberal [[Ronald Van Horne]] won it back for his party in [[1977 Ontario general election|1977]], and held it until his retirement in 1988.  Progressive Conservative [[Dianne Cunningham]] was its final representative.
