AllMusic

Take London is the fifth studio album by The Herbaliser. It was released on Ninja Tune in 2005.

Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Ninja Tune fans may not have wished to hear a crucial production unit like the Herbaliser going down the same road already traveled by the Cinematic Orchestra and Chris Bowden, but the talents of all involved (especially [Jake] Wherry and [Ollie] Teeba) put this record over the top."
