My best checkmate so far on lichess using the London System...

...after playing with it on and off as white but most importantly I have to give credit to the GINGER GM YouTube channel where I first heard of the London. Here's my game, I know it's nothing special to most on here who post their incredible games, but I'm proud of it AND now I can start learning something else for black, any suggestions? I usually try the Kings Indian for black but I don't know which variation works better for my style of play...

Thanks in advance,

In the interests of honesty:

4. ... c6??
5. c3??

If anything, I find White's blunder worse. In terms of suggestions, it's back to basics here: examine every check and every capture before moving. As black gives you a free bishop and you miss it on move 5.

If you miss captures like that, the system you play hardly matters at all.
Крутой мат 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the correction of play! I didn't even notice that in my attempt to finish off the London, but I will keep my eye out for it next time.
