London Records

London Records was a record label headquartered in the United Kingdom marketing records in the United States and Latin America from the 1940s through the 1980s. London arose from the split in ownership between the British branch of Decca Records and that same company's USA branch; the "London" label released British Decca records in the USA, since it could not use the "Decca" name there. The London label was also used by British Decca in the UK market to release American recordings British Decca licensed. After Universal Music (the owner of American Decca) acquired PolyGram (the owner of British Decca) in 1998, the London classical music label was dropped in favour of Decca.

London Records is today part of the Warner Music Group which licensed the London name from Decca which still owns the trademark.
