London gives Black a restricted game? Lol

It's still not letting me clip the PGN directly into the comment, but this blitz game I just finished as white really illustrates whites intentions when black castles kingside. I have no doubt that my play was imperfect, but the theme of wrecking black's kingside is on full display.

1. d4 d5

2. Nf3 Nf6

3. Bf4 Nc6

4. e3 e6

5. c3 Bd6

6. Ne5 Bxe5

7. dxe5 Nd7

8. Qg4 0-0

9. Bh6 g6

10. f4 Re8

11. Bd3 Nf8

12. h4 Ne7

13. Bg5 Qd7

14. Bf6 Nf5

15. h5 Nxe3

16. Qh3 Nf5

17. hxg6 fxg6

18. g4 Ng7

19. Bxg6 Nxg6

20. Qxh7+ Kf8

21. Qxg6 Kg8

22. Qh7+ Kf8

23. Qh8+ Kf7

24. Qxg7#

Again, apologies for the lack of an interactive board.

The move order is to deal with some early ...c5 lines, and (probably) answer 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 c5 with 3.e4!? when Black should likely decline the gambit with 3...Nc6. Anyway, most strong players meet 2...c5 with 3.e3 Nc6 4.c3, when the ...Qb6 lines are not annoying.
