Why not Londo instead of London? It could be fun.
Charles Howard
Because From Software already has a monopoly on the word "Londo."

Nah Ts are softened or glottalized in the middle of words.
>Very often in the United States and Canada, and less frequently in Australia and New Zealand, both /t/ and /d/ can be pronounced as a voiced flap [ɾ] in certain positions: when they come between a preceding stressed vowel (possibly with intervening /r/) and precede an unstressed vowel or syllabic /l/. Examples include water, bottle, petal, peddle (the last two words sound alike when flapped).

Etymology is uncertain but apparently it was first attested in Latin as Londinium. This is a neuter gender form like Byzantium and such.
From Middle English London, from Old English Lunden, a borrowing from Latin Londīnium.

You either pronounce the t sound fully (play-TOH) or go for a full glottal stop instead of the letter t (pla-'OH)
Never half arse dropping your t's you dozy septic cunts
