Senior Member. I am back in London means you are in London and you’re telling someone (maybe even yourself). I am back to London is an expression I would use only in this sort of circumstance: Him: You’ve been travelling a lot lately.
As many you asked, is it back in or back to? Back to will also be correct, but in a different construction: I will go/come back to Hong Kong next Monday. Here, you have a verb of movement (go/come), in which case you use the preposition to; if it’s a form of the verb to be, then you use the preposition in.
Best answer for this question, are you at London or in London? ‘are you in London’ is correct. ‘are you at London’ is incorrect. With the names of cities, countries, towns, continents etc (which represents a large area) we use ‘in’. We use ‘at’ with the names of localities, colonies etc (which represents a small area).
