Opening for Black

Sort:
WJB2200

I play the London system as White.  This opening is solid but not too exciting.  I like playing it. 

What would be a "solid" but not too exciting response for Black to e4?  What about d4?

I prefer a strong center and a solid postion without weakenesses.   Am I asking for too much? 

 I consider myself more of a positiaonal player than a tactical player. The idea would be play into the endgame.  I hope to focus on the endgame!
