He pursued his medical studies at the prestigious University of Cambridge, graduating intially with a Bachelor of Medcine, Bachelor of Surgery - MB BChir degree before undergoing surgical training. He was granted an Master of Arts degree before early medical research led to the award of an MD degree by the University of Cambridge.

In addition to the management of sports knee injuries (children and adults), Professor London has a keen interest in the management of knee arthritis at all ages. He is an international expert in partial knee replacement (resurfacing) surgery.
