In addition to many other made-for-TV films, London became associated with lauded miniseries, beginning with the Arthur Hailey classic "Wheels" in '78. In '80, London was nominated for an Emmy and won a Directors Guild Award for the epic miniseries "Shogun," starring Richard Chamberlain, and would also go on to more Emmy nominations for "Chiefs," featuri Charlton Heston, and " Ellis Island," with Richard Burton. In the '90s, London had success working on the shows "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "Chicago Hope," while, in the next decade, he directed episodes of "Strong Medicine" and "JAG," among others.
