What is the best song with a British plaçe name in the title

"Winchester Cathedral the new vaudeville band
Actually that's not right, Baker Street Gerry Rafferty is the best song with an English place name "
Note I said English, I don't presume to judge Scottish, Welsh or Irish |

How about Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel?
I always used to think it was about the city of Salisbury but apparently Solsbury is actually to the north of Bath
Good song anyway  |

"The Green Green Grass of Home - Tom Jones
We all know he was on about Wales!  "
You can add Cardiff Afterlife, Valley Boy, This Sullen Welsh Heart and Together Stronger (C'mon Wales) by the Manics to your Wales playlist (among various others that don't specifically use a place name). |

"A bomb in Wardour street by The Jam "
Seeing as this is my all-time favourite song, cannot argue with this.
May not be the best song, but contender for most original title would be Half Man, Half Biscuit’s “All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit”. |

What, it was us that executed Tom Jones?!
(much as I love him, he deserved punishment for crimes against music for …Pussycat and Delilah, but that’s a bit harsh) |
