I don't get why young people would be so thrilled to live in KW after university, but not London. I mean, at its core, London has much more of a big city feel to it. You have Richmond Row, which is a more dense hub of nightlife than can be found anywhere in Waterloo Region. I'm really surprised young people are fleeing London and more companies aren't setting up shop there. It's a little blue collar (as is basically everywhere in Ontario), but isn't Hamilton, Windsor, or Niagara Region by any means.

I have been to Kitchener's downtown and compared with London it is very dull. That said I am not heavily familiar with K-W so I can't comment directly on why young people would prefer it over London. I do have one friend who is strongly considering moving to K-W after he finishes at Western, specifically citing their higher committment to public transit as a major reason.
Personally I don't think I'd choose to live in K-W unless I got a great job opportunity there.
