Songs about London

Probably been done but I'm feeling a bit nostalgic for my City.
Has to be 'Wild West End' by Dire Straits for me.
Anyone else?

Ian Dury once addressed that 'What's the matter, don't you like it here?' In Billy Bentley at me mid song.
It was a small audience so he noticed me leaving to go to the toilet. He nodded back when I pointed at the toilet door. All forgiven.
I was less forgiving when at a later event, we all got showered in broken glass and beer when the band booted all the beer glasses on the front of the stage into the audience.

Primrose Hill by Loudon Wainwright. It's a true story by the way - the guy in the song eventually died.
