The London House Sessions is a compilation album collecting music recorded by the Oscar Peterson Trio at the London House jazz club in Chicago in the summer of 1961.

Selected tracks from these concerts were previously released on four albums in 1961 and 1962: The Trio, The Sound of the Trio, Put On a Happy Face, and Something Warm. Those albums are included as part of the complete Sessions, along with 23 previously-unreleased tracks (including several versions of frequent set-closer "Billy Boy"). Several additional tracks were subsequently included on the CD reissues of The Trio and The Sound of the Trio.

The London House Sessions was initially released on four LPs. It was also released as a five CD box set in 1996 by Polygram.[1]
