Did you know you could play the London System with both colors? The Reversed London can be played against many white setups successfully. The plans and ideas are similar to the normal London System, and the fact that you're a tempo down compared to the main lines means little since the opening tends to be slow and maneuvering so that extra first move usually gets compensated for quickly.

The London System with black is a great way to fight English, Catalan, Reti, Nimzo-Larsen and all other setups that aren't main line e4 or d4 openings. It's basically an improved Semi-Slav or Caro-Kann, since the bishop is able to get outside of the pawn chain before e6 is played.
