The Symphony No. 104 in D major (H. 1/104) is the last symphony written by Joseph Haydn. It is known (somewhat arbitrarily, as there are eleven others) as the London Symphony, the last of the twelve London symphonies.

In Germany it is commonly known as the Salomon Symphony, after Johann Peter Salomon, who arranged Haydn's two tours of London, although it is one of three of the last twelve symphonies written for Viotti's opera concerts rather than for Salomon.

The work was composed in 1795, while Haydn was living in London, and premiered there on 4 May 1795 at the King's Theatre, in a concert of Haydn's own compositions, conducted by the composer.

The premiere was a success; Haydn wrote in his diary: "The whole company was thoroughly pleased and so was I. I made 4,000 gulden on this evening: such a thing is possible only in England."

The autograph manuscript of the symphony is preserved in the Berlin State Library.

The storm on Lake Brienz was captured by Christian Schlegel. The video was edited by Wenjing Ma.
