Why can't you eat fish in London?

Have you looked at the Ministry of the Environment's fish consumption guidelines? http://www.ontario.ca/fishguide
Looks like pike, smallmouth bass and walleye out of your stretch of the Thames are pretty edible.

Less so pike on the main branch upstream of the mouth of the north branch, but smallies are still fine:
