A London Symphony (Symphony No. 2) is the second symphony by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, completed in 1913–14 and first performed in 1914. Drawing on English folk influences and modal harmonies with vivid orchestration that alternates urban sketches and pastoral lyricism, it is an early major orchestral work that helped establish Vaughan Williams's distinctive voice in 20th-century English music.
