London is a classy sweater worked seamlessly from the top down with contiguous shoulder construction and lace details. It has a boxy shape and three quarter sleeves, with an elegant little lace stitch pattern along the neckline, shoulders, armholes, underarm lines, cuffs and hem. Some short rows are used to model the back longer than the front to ameliorate the fitting of the sweater.
