The United Kingdom was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 with the song "Long Live Love", written by Valerie Avon and Harold Spiro, and performed by Olivia Newton-John. The British participating broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally. In addition, the BBC was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Dome in Brighton, after the winner of the previous edition, the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT) from Luxembourg, opted not to host the event.
