Answers:

"Oliver's Army" by Elvis Costello ("with the fires from The Mersey and The Thames & The Tyne"...)

"Across The River Thames" by Elton John

"This Is A Low" by Blur - several mentioned, including Land's End

"Ferry Cross The Mersey" by Gerry And The Pacemakers - that's the one you already have, I guess?

"History" by The Verve - The Thames

"Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks

"Maggie Mae" by The Beatles (Lime Street (in Liverpool)

"A Day in the Life" by The Beatles ("Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall...")

"King's Cross" by The Pet Shop Boys

"Lola" by The Kinks - (mentions Soho)

"Maid of Bond Street" by David Bowie

"London Bridge" by Fergie (shudder : )

"Tower Of London" by ABC - mentions many, including Trafalgar Square

"Portobello Belle" by Dire Straits

"A Rainy Night in Soho" by The Pogues



Do these qualify?


"Carnaby Street" by The Jam

"A Town Called Malice" by The Jam ("Sunday in Shrewsbury")

"Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty

"A-Bomb in Wardour Street" by The Jam
