Er, no... There's no such thing as The London Times. The Times newspaper in the UK dates from New Year's Day 1788, having changed its name from The Daily Universal Register. It has existed as The Times ever since then - i.e. for 231 years.
Although Americans refer colloquially but erroneously to a certain New York newspaper as The Times, its proper title since its foundation in 1851 is The New York Times. I see that Wikipedia refers to it informally as the Times (without the The) but the name Times with a The before it has, by precedence, to be accorded to the senior newspaper in London.
PS I subscribe to the Times in the UK, meaning I get the paper edition and the on-line one as well at a great saving over the on-the-street price. Hence I can read it in Thailand on publication day from about 9 am onwards. It is an attractive deal and well worth the money.

I don’t read and certainly would never subscribe to any newspaper or television service owned by Rupert Murdoch

Your woeful ignorance on anything and everything is testament to that. Nevertheless you turn to a bunch of anonymous sodomites and sex tourists to give you advice about your Will. I still dine out on your post the other week which demonstrated you had never heard of Instagram

As I’m dining out it’s other people’s tables you’d be sharing and you’re such a dull little man, Captain, I doubt even my extensive powers of persuasion could get you an invitation

When dining out in England (Mr Wannabe) it is customary to reciprocate.
I’m still waiting.
