I have a Taylor Chicago (very early Chicago). It's a spectacular horn, beautifully warm sound. Anyway, a little history on the the London model . . .
The London model preceeded the Chicago, but also continued to be produced for a bit after the Chicago came on the scene. Londons have a .460" bore (they are very very similar to the newer Chicago .460 line). And are a little bit lighter, but not much, than the Chicagos. As far as I've heard, they're excellent playing horns, just like the rest of Andy's stuff.
