Wordpress Multisite Siteurl & home setup creating odd paths. Why?

As always thanks in advance if you can help.

I'm seeing a very weird issue with a multisite. Currently it has the following multisites setup:

www.domain.com
www.domain.com/london/
www.domain.com/paris/
www.domain.com/berlin/

Each subdirectory site uses a different child theme (containing a few changes to css in each) of www.domain.com overiding theme.

The network sites each have the setup options for Siteurl and Home, which each reflect the setup of:

Siteurl:www.domain.com
Home:www.domain.com/london/

This works fine, but BREAKS the backend navigation for the /london/ website trying to force all wordpress links as www.domain.com/wp-admin rather than www.domain.com/london/wp-admin.

I changed the network setup of each website to the equivalent of:

Siteurl:www.domain.com/london/
Home:www.domain.com/london/

This fixes the navigation for the backend of www.domain.com/london/wp-admin but breaks all path files for calling anything from the parent theme and breaks all css/images in the backend of wordpress.

This is dricing me crazy! Anyone else seen anything like this before?

So the answer to this if anyone finds this was that our server was running NGINX without us realising which caused some pretty weird conflicts with the wordpress url re-writing. We simply turned it off and just run the server with stand alone Apache and it worked!
