Here's how I setup Fallout 4 / Fallout London
Did a clean install of Fallout 4 GOTY via the GoG offline installer, then launched it ONCE.
Installed Fallout London via the GoG offline installer, then installed it proper by launching the Fallout London "executable" shortcut (You need to double install it, seriously?)
Installed Buffout 4/xSE Plugin Preloader/Address Library (don't forget the vis redist dependencies) and
also High FPS Physics Fix because Bugthesda still hasn't fixed long load times and neither has Team Folon (remember to configure the High FPS Physics Fix cfg file to your liking).
Remember to install these addons to the proper folders within the Fallout 4 GOTY folder, and not the Fallout London folder, because apparently that folder is just for installing the game. You can delete the Fallout London folder after (actually) installing it, I think.
Configured graphics settings (via the regular Fallout 4 launcher settings) to High preset, then set Shadows to Medium (because they're badly optimized), and turned Reflections and Motion Blur off.
All of this has reduced crashing by about 70%, and the game usually runs well.
Feel free to make a shortcut to f4se_loader in the Fallout 4 GOTY folder, since that is what is used to launch the game with the script extender, which Fallout London uses by default. You're going to need to make a shortcut to that if you delete the Fallout London installation folder after installing it.
