The Abandoned McCormicks Candy Factory London Ontario is one of those abandoned locations that is a must-see for anyone new to Urban Exploration. For many, this will be the first large industrial location that they will explore.
It’s size makes it a good long explore, it’s usually fairly easy to access and it has a small degree of danger and risk as there are often junkies inside doing drugs. For the newer explorers, this makes it a great way to see if you have what it takes.
I first explored the Abandoned McCormicks Candy Factory in 2012 when I was new to the Urban Exploration hobby and it was my first large location, I would visit twice in 2012 and again in 2013. In 2018 I decided to start returning to some of these old abandoned locations that I first explored when I was new to the hobby.
The now abandoned site is about 5.3 hectares and was originally constructed in 1913, and operated as a candy and cookie factory under various corporations, it closed in 2008.
City seized the site after nearly $750,000 in taxes wasn’t paid. It was sold to Sierra Construction in 2014 for $1.
The plant is broken up into 5 floors above ground, and one below. For the most part each floor produced a different type of product. Each floor also smells slightly different like the product that were made there. Surprisingly there are very little traces of food and therefore almost no rodents.
