Other Londons are available
• London (Ontario, Canada): A city in Middlesex County, on the Thames River, near Windsor (hmm, that's familiar). It's Canada's 10th largest city, and the birthplace of both Labatt's and Carling lager (honest). London's oldest residence is Eldon House, built in 1834. This weekend Londoners can enjoy the 12th Sunfest (Celebration of the Global Arts) free in Victoria Park. [population 336,539]
• London (Ohio, USA): Madison County's seat of government, which hosts a not-quite world-famous Strawberry Festival every June and the London Wiffleball Tournament every August. [population 8771]
• London (Kentucky, USA): The site of Colonel Sanders' first ever KFC restaurant, and now (allegedly) Kentucky's "crossroads to vacation adventure". Every September more than 250,000 visitors descend upon London KY to celebrate the World Chicken Festival and to eat from the World's Largest Stainless Steel Skillet. [population 5692]
• London (California, USA): A not terribly interesting census district in Tulare County. [population 1848]
• London (Texas, USA): A farming community on Highway 377, about 18 miles NE of Junction in Kimble County. [population 180]
• ... and quite a few others which don't seem to have websites
