"London Broil" is the name given the first cut of the top round roast. Since is is nearest the sirloin, it is more tender than the rest of the top round. However, as you apparently know, "tender" is a relative term when it comes to London Broil. I would recommend a sirloin tip as more tender and chuck roast as more flavorful -- both are more economical cuts.
