Lambeth Walk s'gotta be in there, surely! Please? I was born in Lambeth - lovely place. (!)

But from the map it looks like a bleak thoroughfare on a soulless council estate, so I'm not too gutted I didn't pay a visit. Sorry.


Electric Avenue? (Eddy Grant - 1970s) Brixton I think. I'm sure I read somewhere ages ago that it might have been the first place in UK to get electric street lighting?

Guns of Brixton, p'raps?
Without the M-16, of course...

Wardour Street

OK here's my guesses

Baker Street? (although a bit obvious for you DG)

Let's all go down the Strand? That's a song referring to the road and not a dance.

Seven Sisters Road?

A Bomb in Wardour Street?

Harrow Road?

Golden Square?

A Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square?

The Kilburn High Road?

Baker Street, surely?

Thanks for the "White Man.." link anyway... I didn't know it was one of Strummer's favourites too (my all time favourite CLash song). Good to hear it was played at his funeral... maybe I'll request the same as Mrs. Planarchy suggested we couldn't have it at our wedding

I saw you walking out Shaftesbury Avenue
Excuse me for talking I wanna marry you
(Dire Straits ‘Wild West End’)

Sunny Goodge Street?

Oh and Stanley Road is in Teddington which is in the London Borough of Richmond. If that counts.

dg writes: there is a Stanley Road in Teddington, but Paul Weller grew up in the one in Woking. honest

Abbey Road? Or is that in Liverpool?

dg writes: It's in London, yes, but alas it was an album, not a song.

Oxford Street or Langham Place? (both in the London Again Suite, by Eric Coates)?

Orchestral London

You've guessed three of them between you,
so far.

Oh lawd, you haven't managed to dig up which street Madness's house was on, have you? Or is 'our street' too vague for you, DG?
