"'London'" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on 14 October 2002 as the third and final single from their eighth studio album, 'Release' (2002). It was released exclusively in Germany and Europe and as a promotional-only release in the United Kingdom.

The single cover features a pigeon, possibly a reference to the city of London itself. The European CD single has Pet Shop Boys written in green, whilst the German CD single has it written in pink. It was designed by Scott King.

The B-side to the single, "Positive Role Model", was later included on the duo's remix album 'Disco 3' (2003).
