user7355: In the London system, white wants to keep their dark squared bishop,
Therefore after say 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bf4, black can play 3...Nh5, doesn't it break white's position?
[FEN ""]
1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bf4 Nh5


user4588: An alternative is to play the move order 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 Nf6 3.e3, preventing Nh5. Next, you can play 4.Nf3 or 4.c4.

user4362: The bishop is pretty decent on g5 as well. 
So after 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bf4 Nh5 4.Bg5 and now black would have to create serious weaknesses on the kingside to hunt down the bishop. But if he just returns the knight, he has lost a tempo.
