I am not sure of Squeezplay playback but I think it cannot play WMA
natively and possibly AAC.  In which case a local LMS is needed to play
these formats.
You do not say what OS your Squeezplay is runnig on and whether when
playing the ASX URL you are using LMS or not.

I think BBC Radio London is only available in two formats - Flash/AAC
and WMA.

Flash / AAC is handled by iPlayer plugin in LMS and that is the iplayer
URL you showed.  The iPlayer plugin will choose the playing format from
between whatever different formats are available and as per your LMS
iPlayer settings.
To play the WMA stream (i.e. the asx URL)  

The Tunein URL request a BBC London http URL using either (amongst
others)  AAC, MP3 and WMA - but only WMa is available so YTunein and ASX
are the same.

In 2015 BBC will turn off WMA URLs - it is not clear what formats will
be available for local radio.

If your laptop running Squeezeplay is running an LMS and it is a Linux
based system - I suggest install mplayer and PlayWMA plugin and that
will enable playback of WMA streams.  If the OS is WIndows then playback
of ASX stream should work as long as LMS is being used.
