Brief Answer:
you can continue in London

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand you have given the first dose and second dose is due only on 25th October.
You cannot take it early before going to London.
It is better to get the next two doses in London.
Vaccination is very well available there ( visit any NHS hospitals for enquiry).
At this age pneumococcal vaccine( 3 doses) is essential to prevent pneumonia and brain infection.
This can be taken one dose before leaving.
The other two can be completed in London.
Apart from this no need to take any separate vaccines.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
