I think setting Season 3 in London would be a complete disaster.
It's pretty clear that Nic basis a large part of his screenplays off of his personal experiences. What made Season 1 feel so intimate was that the screenwriter literally grew up in that location (and by all accounts, had a pretty rough childhood). He then based Season 2 off of his present surroundings (LA).
With his flat-out refusal to surround himself in a writers room (he composes the entire screenplay on his own), basing a storyline so far removed from his personal experiences would be begging for disaster.
Or HBO could force him to bring on a writing staff (a staff that could have interconnected his storylines and delivered on a worthy twist could have lifted Season 1 to an all time great). We'll see what HBO does here, it's.. rather unlikely they're going to sit on their hands after the criticism received by Season 2.
