Biography (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody)[]

1990s-2000s[]

London Tipton was born on May 6, 1990. Her father is Wilfred Tipton and her mother is a yet to be named woman from Thailand. Since she was a baby, London always wore designer clothing and had a lot of interest in designer clothing (as mentioned in That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana). She had a tough childhood, because her father was always away on business, and constantly marrying different women after he divorced his first wife, such as Brandi Tipton.

When London was a little child, her father did not attend any of London's plays in her childhood years because he was supposedly very busy. London once told Maddie in Lip Synchin' in the Rain that her father did not bother attending any of her school performances (as Itsy Bitsy Spider). When she was growing, she starts to cover the emptiness her father created. When she discovers shopping, as Maddie discovers in Kisses & Basketball, she buys things she doesn't need only to cover the emptiness in her heart.

On the other hand, despite having a lot of wealth, she was miserable, because her father never appeared when she needed him such as when the Tipton family lose all of their money in the episode Poor Little Rich Girl, and when it was the father-daughter dance at London's school in the episode, The Prince & The Plunger.

2000s-2010s[]

At the age of 15, London met Maddie Fitzpatrick, who eventually became her best friend. London enrolls at Maddie's Catholic school, Our Lady Of Perpetual Sorrow after her father tried to attend parents night at London's old school and they never heard of her. Later on, London was expelled because she did not attend her classes. London then temporarily moved to Cheevers High School.

When her father hears about her expulsion, he sends her to the Seven Seas High, a high school program at the S.S. Tipton, because in a ship, she will not be able escape to another place (except by helicopter or submarine).

Also at the end of The Suite Life Sets Sail, she escapes from the S.S. Tipton and goes to the Parrot Island. Also, in one of her show episodes, Stupid Sea School, she said she was angry with her father only for putting her in the ship.

In numerous episodes, London make references to Japanese and Chinese Culture (ie. when she learns about "Feng Shui"). Brenda Song (London) is of Asian ancestry.
In the first episode, Hotel Hangout, London was using her clothes from the movie, Stuck in the Suburbs.
In a interview of The Suite Life on Deck, she said: "How Ashley is older than me, she is like my older sister; and how Debby is younger, is like the mechanic of the Older and Younger Sister."
In any episode, London doesn't use the same clothes she used in another episode, but in another episode she used the same; an example is in Benchwarmers, when she was using the same bench warmer clothes which she use in Bowling.
