Title. I find that even though the bishop is more active on f4 than in systems like the Colle, where the bishop is stuck on the back rank, I feel as if playing the London is just a little too slow for white. Imo, there are a lot of better options for white (and more ambitious) after d4 (Stonewall, Catalan, Colle, Queen's Gambit, Trompowsky, etc). I've found almost an anti-london system with c5 and qb6 (regardless of move order) and I've had really good success against the London with those moves.
