Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels are worth a look.
So hopefully you read the Night Watch / Day Watch / Twilight Watch books? There's supposedly two more books out there in the series now, Last Watch and New Watch, which I haven't read.
The Markhat series by Frank Tuttle is brilliant fun.
9 Goblins is short but totally worth it. by T. A. Kingfisher
The Night Circus is a whimsical book full of beautiful things, tends to be a bit melancholy.
Most things by Elizabeth Bear are worth reading, as are most things by Connie Willis.
Charlie Stross' Laundry Files are excellent fun with the single, sole, sad exception of the second book which I hated but which other people loved.
The Enterprise of Death is - well. Um, let's just say the woodcut engraving on the cover? Not a metaphor in this book. Does not pull punches.I found it more horrific than a dozen other books labeled specifically as horror, but also more brilliant and more beautiful.
If you haven't got around to reading Ben Aaronovitch's stuff you're in for some good London fun. He's an excellent writer.
The Felix Castor series by Mike Carey is brilliant too.
Is it possibly one of Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels? He's a professional exorcist in London, who is hired to deal with various demons, ghosts, etc. Several of the details you mention seem to fit. I think the girl you mention is a spirit or ghost who he is supposed to or is trying to exorcise. I believe she is in the house where she died?
He also has a relationship with a succubus named Juliet, she starts out hunting him for some kind of bounty but later they get together.
His best friend Rafi is possessed by a very scary demon, I don't remember much about that part.
I seem to also remember something about a diner, and his friend/contact who is...rotting? Or something?
Anyways, they're great books. Check out The Devil You Know.
Mike Carey series
And bonus: read in sexy British voice on Audible ;)
Check out the Felix Castor series, another well regarded Urban Fantasy set in London.
And as others have said, Dresden casts a long shadow over the subgenre, and is definitely worth a chance.
