My wife and I (yes, my wife!) are going to brew up a London Porter this week. Might go with a combination of Vienna / Munich in the base grain bill.
Or maybe Pils / Vienna.

I did a London porter recently with a blend of pils and Munich. Very happy with it.

Although using pils malt is not a bad choice, I personally use Crisp Maris Otter in my porters and stouts because it is a bit richer in flavor than pilsner malt when I chew a sample of the grains.  But that is me.  The old addage surfaces again.  It's your beer, make it how you want to.

Ive tried to use pils malt as a sub in porters and stouts when I was out of Golden Promise or Great Western (my other base malts) and I found a difference I didnt like, the mouthfeel was leaner and the flavor wasnt as round.

Based on all of the feedback so far, I'll go with Pils / Vienna / Munich for the base malts.

sounds good. I have a sack of munich malt on the way and am going to experiment using it to replace pale malt in my stout.
