The London Ice House is an arena in London, Ontario. It was originally built in 1964 and was home to the London Knights ice hockey team from 1965-2002. The arena had a capacity of 5,075 and was also known as the London Gardens. It was replaced by the John Labatt Centre.

The Rolling Stones played the arena in 1965, the show was shut down by police after only 15 minutes. The arena's most famous moment came in 1968, when singer Johnny Cash proposed onstage to his longtime wife, June Carter Cash, during a concert at the building.

The building is today home to the Forest City Velodrome.
