Doesn't look too bad to me. There are legitimate edits made by the account,
and while most of the edits are to the user page, a heck of a lot are
spelling or small edits anyways.
The links themselves aren't all that bad either; none look particularly out
of line, especially not to a map of London, nor the London city government
page, or the city's transport authority. I'd say it was more like someone
was proud of where they lived.
I'd prefer that this one be given the benefit of the doubt absent any major
issue that you could elsewise come up with... which since you asked for
outside opinions, you likely don't really have.

I just came across this user page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:%24_London_Apartments
(That %24 is a dollar sign.) Intrigued by the weird user name, I had a
look - at first glance it's a regular user page. But as you read it
more carefully, you discover the preponderance of certain words, like
"London", "apartment", "rent", "renting",
"house", and "first floor".
As you get further down, you see a bunch of "useful" links to other
sites, one of which is coincidentally called "London Apartments".
A glance at the user contributions shows almost nothing but
modifications to their own page, despite what the text on the page
claims. There are a couple of trivial edits to other pages.
Spam? Or real person? I seek the wisdom of the collective....
