the strength of LDF is dependent on the distance (r) between the molecules and the polarizability (alpha) of each molecule. The formula for the potential energy is (alpha1*alpha2)/r^6.

The strength of London forces are dependent on the same factors as dipole-dipole bonds. If two molecules are more rod shaped, the bond will be stronger than if they were spherical. The closer the molecules are, the stronger the bond will be.
