London Leah Tipton (played by Brenda Song) is a fictional character on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and its spinoff The Suite Life on Deck. She is the daughter of Wilfred Tipton, the owner of the Tipton Hotel.

Biography (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody)

She is a parody of Paris Hilton. Although you never see Mr. Tipton (usually never more than an arm behind his security force, which stands on all sides), he is frequently mentioned. London is an airheaded heiress, and leads a wild girl fabulous life as heiress of the Tipton Estate. She is a spoiled, strong, rich and full-of-herself teenager with her own private suite at the Tipton Hotel in Boston, complete with a lot of closets (each with their own obsequious talking mirror) and a kitchen which takes up most of the floor. She transferred to the same private school as Maddie in the episode Forever Plaid, due to poor attendance at her old school. In the episode First Day of High School, London transfers to Zack and Cody's public school, due to being expelled from all of the private schools she had previously attended. She dislikes her step-moms and talks to Mr. Moseby and Maddie about her problems. When happy she usually claps her hands repeatedly while saying her catchphrase, "Yay me!" Though it seems like London may lead the ultimate rich-girl life, her childhood was not perfect. In the episode Arwinstein, she states she is allergic to lobster, though in the episode "Poor Little Rich Girl" she said, "Goodbye peanut butter, hello lobster dipped in butter," and in another episode she asked Maddie for a lobster dinner. However, it is possible that she developed an allergy to lobster after the earlier episodes and before the later ones. She also has a signature phrase that she says mostly after the theme song has ended, "Whatyou' doin?"

As stated earlier, London is not very bright. She is confused with many things, and is tricked by many characters such as Maddie and Nia. Esteban and Maddie once tricked her into doing many stupid things when they changed her horoscope.

London has her own web-show ever since the episode Tiptonline. The original producer of "Yay Me, Starring London Tipton" was Cody Martin. After Cody quit because of the crazy things London made him do London's friend Chelsea Brimmer became the producer, but Chelsea left after 1 webshow because she was a horrible producer and the fans demanded they bring Cody back. After Cody saw the show, he rushed to London suite in the middle of the show and said he would come back. In the episode Doin' Time in 2330, Cody got grounded so Maddie filled in as the "Special Guest Star Producer" under her full name Madeline Margaret Genevieve Miranda Catherine Fitzpatrick.

She does not see her parents often, only occasionally, but she often talks to them on the telephone. London says that Mr. Moseby appears more times in her family’s photo-albums than Mr. Tipton or any of his ex-wives. Her parents cannot stand each other, apparently, since Mr. Moseby put them in not only in different rooms when they stayed at the hotel, but different wings.

In the episode A Tale of Two Houses, when Esteban found out he was rich, London said that they could be "BFFWHLAGSAL"s, which stands for "Best Friends Forever Who Have Lunch and Go Shopping a Lot"

In Lip Syncin' In the Rain she learned how to sing "Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do" by thinking of the following:

Do - "Money" (dough),
Re, Mi - "Yay me",
Fa, So - "If something is far, I say, so, because I have a private jet)" ,
La - "Something you get to break if you're rich" (law),
Ti - Her favorite "vowel" (again showing her extreme ignorance),
Do - "Yay, more money" (more dough).

Putting it all together as "Dough, Yay Me, Far-So, Law, T, Dough!!!" instead of "Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do".

Family

• Wilfred Tipton (voiced by Bob Joles) - He is the owner of the Tipton hotel and father to London, and has not actually appeared (although his voice was heard in the episodes Not So Suite 16 and Lip Syncin' in the Rain). It is not actually clear how he became the owner of the Tipton, because London mentions several times that her father bought the hotel, while in other episodes it is stated that Tipton inherited the hotel; this may simply be another example of London's ignorance. His hand is seen at one point in the episode Lip Syncin' in the Rain, complete with a large diamond ring. It is also hinted that he was kidnapped and held for London's diamonds in Super Twins.

• London's Mother - (unseen) London's mother is divorced from Wilfred, she visited London's sweet sixteen party but remained unseen.

• Brandi (played by T Lopez) - Brandi is London's stepmother. She comes to visit London, but they do not get along well. Over the course of the episode they become friendlier to each other. It is unknown if Mr. Tipton is still married to Brandi.

• Stepmother #1 (unseen) one of Wilfred's ex-wives. In What the Hey she was known for saying that she was going to be around for a long time with Wilfred Tipton.

• Stepmother #2 (unseen) another of Wilfred's ex-wives. In What the Hey she was known for saying that Wilfred and herself were Soulmates.

• Stepmother #3 (unseen) another of Wilfred's ex-wives. In What the Hey she was known for being filed out for a divorce before London's charm for her bracelet representing her was even finished, and simply calling London "that kid."

• Stepmother #4 (unseen) another of Wilfred's ex-wives. Not much is known about her.

• Yolanda (unseen) one of London's former stepsisters. In Poor Little Rich Girl, London tried to call her on her cell phone, for a place to sleep, due to London's poverty. Yolanda refused, because London never helped her. London referrs to her as 'sis'.

Relationships

• Chelsea Brimmer is one of London's wealthy friends. Is just as air-headed as London. First seen in Miniature Golf, and a guest star and former producer on London's web-show, Yay Me.
• Tiffany another one of London's friends. She is shallow, air-headed, and diet-prone. First seen in Miniature Golf.
• Lance Fishman is a marine-obsessed life-guard at the Tipton, and London's ex-boyfriend. His name is an obvious parody of former *NSYNC member Lance Bass.
• Joe if seen in Volley Dad, she liked him for a while. Then saw Maddie kissing him, and fell out of love with him.
• Ivana is London's pomeranian dog, she is often seen is season 1, but not that much in 2 or 3. She is named after Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana.
• Todd St. Mark is the son of the owner of the rival hotel to the Tipton. He and London have a Romeo and Juliet like relationship as their fathers hate each other and forbid them from seeing each other. They meet at the masquarade ball and he gives London her first kiss. He has to go away after his dad agrees to pay for him to become a dentist.
• Trevor is a boy who London dated in the episode, "Odd Couples". However, he only dated her because he thought she was just as smart as him. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that London wasn't smart and was being coached by Maddie. Eventually, Trevor ended up with Maddie. Trevor was portrayed by Zac Efron.
• The twins are two boys who only appeared in one episode as part of the twin convention. London and Maddie meet the "cute one" and evidently have a crush on. They both compete for his affections up until he introduces his geeky twin in which Maddie goes on a date with who is revealed to like London.
