Ben Finegold teaches it, Igor Smirnov teaches it, Dina Belenkaya says it's good at all levels. Magnus plays it, Firouzja plays it, Giri plays it.

Take 20 minutes out of your day, watch this and decide whether the London is for you:

I love the London. It's easy to learn and understand. Which helps when you don't like studying openings

I like to occasionally play it to annoy people who think it’s boring or not good.

I must confess to doing this from time to time myself. It proves to me that there are no boring openings, only boring players.
