Hi, Moonyscorp. Welcome to English Forums. Thanks for joining us.

Both versions work, although the expression is more common with "with."

The only thing that bothers me is the sense of timing. Usually such a comment accompanies a new release, which would make the present continuous tense more appropriate: ". . . is meeting with great success in London." (note capitalization)
