NXT TakeOver: London was the eighth NXT TakeOver professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental brand, NXT. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network and took place on 16 December 2015, at The SSE Arena in London, England. It was the first TakeOver held outside of the United States, which was also the finale of NXT's first tour of the United Kingdom, and the only NXT event held outside of North America.

Eight matches were contested at the event, including three taped for the 23 December episode of NXT. In the main event, Finn Bálor defeated Samoa Joe to retain the NXT Championship.
