I love the city of London, but as a name it just seems somehow prentious, like most place names in my opinion. Also, I would rathre see this name on a boy than on a girl.

All depends on whether you've been there. I'd hate to see anyone name their child after London, thinking it's full of big buildings and Hugh Grant-types.
Personally, I would probably never use London as a FN, as I think it sounds very trendy. However, as a middle name, tucked away on birth certificates and formal stuff, I would possibly use it, for either sex, just to honour London in general. I am very much in love with the place.

London for me is a boy's name only, and one that I would never, never use--simply because it's far too tryndee.

When the truth walks away, everybody stays--'cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay. So if you walk away, who is gonna stay? 'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place.
I'd like to leave the world as a better place.

I can't make up my mind as to weather I like it better for a girl or a boy. I know that I like London better than Landon for a boy but I do almost think I like London better on a girl. I've seen it used on a TV show once and it fit the character perfectly, it's kind of nice. :)

Only if that city holds a huge, especially dear, deeply meaningful place in your mind. Same goes for every name that's predominantly associated with a location, IMO.
Which for the average person with a child named London, I'd bet that it doesn't.

What you said + more
I love the city of London! It's one of my favorites!
But I agree with what you said about it as a name and would like to add: imo, it may work on a boy but NOT a girl and to me, is the equivalent of naming your kid New York, Chicago or Los Angeles.
Other big city names from the UK and Ireland that are no-nos imo (and along the same lines as London or Chicago): Edinburgh, Birmingham (the pos. nn of 'mingin' is NOT what one would want), Manchester, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, Cork... they just DON'T work.

Mingin
That would be a horrible nickname. I had never heard the word until last year because it's one of those fun words that American English just doesn't use. An Irish student at my friend's university said it in conversation to describe her toes and it had everyone around her quite confused. :-)

lol..
I had heard before I first went to England but I didn't exactly know what it meant and my friends over there (mates, whatev... lol) kept saying "so'n'so is SO mingin'!" or "oh, that is so mingin', don't even consider it..." and I'm just like "okay...?" lol. It was funny. I love it now though too :) It's fun to use.
