==Reception==<br />
Samrudhi Ghosh from ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' stated, “''London Confidential'' is a crisp espionage thriller, at one hour and 14 minutes, but the trite and predictable climax does not live up to the interesting premise.<ref>{{cite web |title=London Confidential review: Mouni Roy and Purab Kohli race against time to prevent Chinese virus outbreak |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/london-confidential-review-mouni-roy-and-purab-kohli-race-against-time-to-prevent-chinese-virus-outbreak/story-HNNv2lAgesYf3eyaEkOH0I.html |website=Hindustan Times |language=en |date=19 September 2020}}</ref> ''[[India Today]]'' stated, “The screenplay is gripping and Kanwal Sethi’s direction does justice to it. The cinematography captures the London cityscape in an interesting hue. The editing is crisp and has ensured there are no dull moments in the film. All-in-all, ‘''London Confidential''’ is worth the full 1 hour and 17 minutes of your time”.<ref>{{cite web |title=ZEE5's LONDON CONFIDENTIAL review: An inevitably addictive spy thriller that engages till the end |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/impact-feature/story/zee5-s-london-confidential-an-inevitably-addictive-spy-thriller-that-engages-till-the-end-1723209-2020-09-18 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref> [[Scroll.in|''Scroll''.''in'']] mentioned, “The film is based on a concept by tireless conspiracy thriller churner S Hussain Zaidi. Written by Akshay Singh and Prateek Payodhi and directed by Kanwal Sethi, ''London Confidential'' doesn’t indulge in much Chinese-bashing. The focus is on sending Uma and Arjun on a wild-goose chase before they stumble upon the truth that is staring them in the face.<ref>{{cite web |title='London Confidential' review: China is the big bad enemy in this Zee5 espionage thriller |url=https://scroll.in/reel/973441/london-confidential-review-china-is-the-big-bad-enemy-in-this-zee5-espionage-thriller |website=Scroll.in}}</ref><br />
