London house music emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, heavily influenced by the Chicago house scene that started in the United States. The genre was brought to the UK through club DJs and producers who were inspired by the electronic and disco-infused sounds of American house music. One of the key moments for London house music was the arrival of acid house in 1987, characterized by its use of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer to create squelching basslines. This period saw the rise of iconic clubs like Shoom, Spectrum, and The Hacienda in Manchester, which became central to the burgeoning rave culture.

London's multicultural atmosphere contributed significantly to the evolution of house music, blending elements of soul, funk, and reggae. Pioneering DJs such as Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, and Nicky Holloway were instrumental in establishing house music in London, organizing underground parties that gradually grew in popularity.

The early 1990s witnessed the proliferation of sub-genres such as UK garage and jungle, which were heavily influenced by house music but incorporated distinctly British elements, such as breakbeats and bass-heavy sounds. Labels like Ministry of Sound and Defected Records played crucial roles in promoting and distributing house music in London and beyond. By the mid-1990s, London had cemented its place as a global hub for house music, with events like the Notting Hill Carnival showcasing the genre's popularity. The city's vibrant club scene, including legendary venues like Fabric and The End, continued to nurture and evolve house music, ensuring its lasting influence on global dance music culture.
