Byron is one of London's most sought-after family neighbourhoods, featuring executive homes nestled among mature trees in a ravine setting at the southwest edge of the city. Located along Commissioners Road West and Boler Road, Byron borders Springbank Park and the Thames River to the south — one of London's finest natural green spaces. The neighbourhood was developed primarily from the 1960s through the 1980s with a mix of custom-built split-levels, raised bungalows, and two-storey executive homes on generous lots.
Byron has one of London's highest rates of owner-occupancy and long-term residency, meaning homes are well-maintained and renovation investment is consistently high. The natural setting, excellent schools including Byron Northview Public School and Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School, and proximity to Springbank Park make Byron one of the best neighbourhoods in Southwestern Ontario for family living.
London Renovation Experts designs and builds complete basement renovations across Byron and all of London. Our basement renovation services in Byron include:
Byron's predominantly split-level and raised bungalow designs present unique basement renovation opportunities. Many homes have partial basements with lower utility areas that can be developed into full finished living space. The wooded, ravine setting means outdoor living — decks, covered patios, pergolas, and screened rooms — is among the most popular renovation categories. Raised bungalows on larger lots are excellent candidates for underpinning to create full-height basement suites. Basement windows are often small and require enlargement (egress upgrade) for any bedroom or secondary suite development.

The City of London building permit office at 300 Dufferin Avenue handles all residential permit applications for Byron properties. Our team manages the complete permit process.
