Is a system where white plays d4 and then goes nf3 bf4 e3 bd3 nbd2 c3 usually.
You can not always force it because for example
1. D4 nf6 2. Bf4 c5 3. Nf3?! cxd4 and white is forced to take with the queen or play a gambit with c3 because if white plays 4. Nxd4?? After 4. E5! 5. Bxe5 there is Qa5+ winning a piece
So you have to play depending on the position
Sometimes it’s better to play c4 than c3 in the london

It is usually hated because a lot of white players just premove it and lead into dull and solid positions
But if you know how to really play it you get more interesting positions
