    Your proc produced the correct output.  I'm still trying to get my head around cross apply.  It's kind of magical.  The last part, where not exists, I was really sure...

    IIF(Mid(Fields!my.Value, 30, 1)="(","London", "Paris")

    or (because the position counts counted the brackets):

    IIF(Mid(Fields!my.Value, 28, 1)="(","London", "Paris")
