The Great London Songs No.18: Streets of London

We've asked our London Walkers and London Walks guides to nominate their favorite London songs… and the playlist is proving to be wide-ranging and eclectic indeed. 
From punk to jazz, with a little music hall thrown in along the way, we'll be collating them all here on The Daily Constitutional over the next few weeks in the run-up to the launch of our new Rock'n'Roll London Pub Walk every Wednesday from 1st May 2013.
As usual, we want to hear from you. What are your favorite London songs? Anything goes, from a tune mentioning a London location, to a piece of music composed here, if it has a strong London connection or theme, we'll add it to the list. Email us at the usual address, message us on Twitter @londonwalks or leave a comment below… This in via email from Houston Texas…
Howdy Y'all!
My favorite London song is "Streets of London" by Ralph McTell. The song occerred to me often during what turned out to be a marvelous visit last October. Thanks to the folks at London Walks for your sizeable contribution to my vacation!
