Rondon

When talking about the city, Japanese speakers might use the phrase ロンドン便 'Rondon-bin' to refer specifically to a flight bound for the city, using a suffix that means 'delivery' or 'service'.
In some vintage Japanese-English dictionaries from the early 20th century, you might see 'London' transcribed with different phonetic variations before the current standard was solidified.
