It depends on what you play against moves like 1.d4 and 1.Nf3
If you don't really care, then at low rating a KID setup is usually pretty nice because the pawn on d6 keeps a knight out of e5, which is pretty much the only thing low rated London players know how to do (put a knight on e5 and hope some kind of kingside attack works out).
Thank you

White's play there is poor. Most London players know that standard moves aren't the best against a KID setup.

OP is rated 500. He doesn't need specific moves, just a way to develop and a general idea.
