Bedford Park is often lumped in with its neighbours in the town of North Toronto, which was incorporated in 1890 as the result of an amalgamation between Davisville Village, Eglinton Village and Bedford Park Village. Despite the merger, the old neighbourhood names remain in common use to differentiate the various pockets.

Adding to the confusion, Bedford Park is also known as Lawrence Park North, which includes the Teddington Park and Wanless Park neighbourhoods. And the City of Toronto’s neighbourhood definitions place Bedford Park within a still larger neighbourhood, called Bedford Park-Nortown, which goes all the way to Bathurst Street on the west, Highway 401 to the north and Hillhurst Boulevard (just north of Eglinton Avenue) to the south! This larger area encompasses Ledbury Park, which is facing a huge migration of young professionals to the area, causing the classic bungalows that once dominated the area to be replaced by new construction.
