In 1995, he accepted an appointment as federal public defender for the Eastern District of Missouri. After a federal judicial clerkship following graduation, London worked with Mark Hennelly and Morris Shanker, the leading criminal lawyers of the time.

London has served as the Missouri attorney general's representative to the Committee to Review Criminal Laws of Missouri; as special adviser to the Committee to Draft Pattern Instructions in Criminal Cases, adopted by the Missouri Supreme Court; and as a member of the state's Urban Violence Task Force. He was elected to The Order of Coif, is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a member of the national executive committee for the American Board of Trial Advocates, and former chair of the Bar Association of St. Louis' Criminal Law Committee.
