London ESB ale yeast (Wyeast 1968)
Mash Temp - 156
No starter for yeast
Fermentation temp - 68
These are your problems.
1) it's a low attenuative strain
2) Mash temp is very high, IMO.
3) You definitely underpitched your yeast. I would have used 3 packets with no starter, assuming these were newer vials of yeast. Just a tip, always use a starter. Makes your life so much easier, IMO.
4) Your ferm temp seems low, though the vial says 64-72 degrees.
Looking back through the thread, these were your issues from my take. What is the FG right now?
What yeast did you pitch with the starter?

They didn't have the yeast you suggested so they gave me m15 dry yeast.
Didn't realize at the time that I didn't need to make a starter with dry yeast. Like I said before, I didn't even know what a starter was... So anyway I think I accidentally threw out a lot of my yeast when I tried to decant some of the work in my starter.
