In spite of all of these my favorite story set in London is Arthur C.
Clarke's _The Forgotten Enemy_.  Probably the most depressing story I
have ever read though.

 Could this story explain why its author relocated to Sri Lanka?

I posted in 2020 -
My inner sniggering schoolboy still fondly remembers
a radio-based parody of Arthur C. Clarke's
"Mysterious World" - from the Red Dwarf creators
I think, in series _Son of Cliche_ - where their
"Clarke", speaking from the place he called home -
specifically I think, Joe's Beach Bar, Sri Lanka (!) -
explained that "Abominable Snowman, Bigfoot, the Yeti"
was seen in many places around the world, but never in
Joe's Beach Bar, Sri Lanka. "That's why I live here."
