List of songs

This is a list of songs about London by notable artists. Instrumental pieces are tagged with an uppercase "[I]", or a lowercase "[i]" for quasi-instrumental including non-lyrics voice samples.

Included are:

  • Songs titled after London, or a location or feature of the city.
  • Songs whose lyrics are set in London.

Excluded are:

  • Songs where London (or parts of London) are simply name-checked (e.g. "New York, London, Paris, Munich", lyrics of "Pop Muzik" by M).
This is a dynamic list of songs and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
