Live at London's Talk of The Town is a 1970 live album recorded by The Temptations at the Talk of the Town nightclub in London, England. It was the final live album released by the group for over thirty years, until The Temptations in Japan, recorded in 1973, was released in 2004. The album reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200 Pop Album Chart, and No. 5 on its R&B album chart.

The songs performed included Temptations hits such as "My Girl", "I Can't Get Next to You" and "Cloud Nine".

Despite this album's success, as of 2016, it has never been released in the CD format. However its tracks are available for sale as a digital download, available on Amazon, I Tunes, and other websites.
