Here's a good page to start if you've never done London Broil:

Use whatever marinade you'd prefer - I like to use a mix of soy sauce, red table wine, honey, green onions, garlic (powered/chopped), salt and sesame oil.

Marinate for at least one hour. Put the london broil meat on a broiling pan, preheat the oven to broil, and cook for about 7 minutes. Flip the broil meat, and cook for another 7 minutes. Usually this will get meat that is medium rare to medium, so if you would like it more well done, cook it for longer, but know that most top round is fairly lean meat, so it will dry out quickly.

I also like to make a hunter's sauce (aka sauce chasseur) to go with it.

I've come across that site before ;-)

If you had to do without the wine (cosmicdolphin is allergic to alcohol), what would you replace it with?

....anyone else want to chime in?

My default london broil marinade is with walnut oil, sherry, sliced shallots, garlic, rosemary, and fresh ground pepper. Then I broil it.

I think you'd still be pretty ok leaving out the sherry...perhaps just add a touch of sugar to the marinade, some juice or something...? It's just to add a little sweetness to the marinade, the walnut oil and rosemary are actually the key ingredients.

Out of curiosity, why walnut oil over other types? I've not used it before, and don't really know the flavor....
