Adam Brian London (born 12 October 1988) is an English former cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket predominantly for Middlesex.

London was born in October 1988 in Ashford, Surrey. He was educated at The Bishop Wand Church of England School.[2] London made his debut in first-class cricket for Middlesex against Gloucestershire at Lord's in the 2009 County Championship, with him making three further appearances that season in the County Championship;[3] in these, he scored 190 runs at an average of 27.14 and made two half centuries.[4] In the same season, he made two List A one-day appearances in the NatWest Pro40 against Lancashire and Derbyshire.[5] Following the end of the 2009 season, he signed a two-year contract extension.[6] The following season, he made four first-class appearances early in the season,[3] scoring 137 runs at an average of 22.83, with one half century.[4] He did not play for the Middlesex first eleven in 2011, but did return in 2012 to make one first-class appearance against Durham MCCU and play against the touring West Indians in a one-day match.[3][5] At the end of the season, he was given a one-year contract extension by Middlesex.[7] He began the 2013 season by making a first-class appearance against Cambridge MCCU, and later in the season he made two appearances in the County Championship against Sussex and Yorkshire.[3] In August, he trialled for Hampshire alongside Middlesex teammate Josh Davey in a one-day match against a touring Bangladesh A team at the Rose Bowl.[8][5] He was released by Middlesex following the 2013 season.[9]

After his short professional career, London became Director of Cricket at Richmond Cricket Club in May 2017,[10] but stepped away from the game to focus on his mental health in 2021.[11]
