Musical map of London

I’m moving to London in a week or so, and I’m damn excited about it. You see, I bloody love London, so I’ve “mashed up” this Wikipedia page of songs about London with the magical Google Maps. It only contains songs that have London place names in their titles, otherwise you could get all sorts of obscure stuff. Proper “places” are in blue, whereas areas/boroughs/districts/etc are in green.
There’s quite a nice spread of music around central London – with Soho and the West End getting the most attention. Primrose Hill, which as far as I can tell is just a small road in The City has about fifty billion songs about it rather inexplicably, and Chelsea is a popular place to write songs about too. I’m delighted to learn there’s a Flogging Molly song about Kilburn High Road, which is close to where I’ll be living in two weeks time!
Are any songs based near to you? Why not tell us in the comments?
