"Camden Town" by Suggs is the worst single ever made by anybody. Especially that bit where he goes "MADNESS in the air," you know, MADNESS in bold double underlined italics, you know I used to be in a group called MADNESS...
Otherwise there's "Finchley Central" by the New Vaudeville Band, "Portobello Road" by Cat Stevens and of course the immortal "Dick-A-Dum-Dum (King's Road)" by Des O'Connor. Or "Wimbledon Lawns" by Jo Durie. Or indeed "Sunny Goodge Street" by Donovan.

Well, the last one is London. Hamilton Square is in Birkenhead (and "From The Bench At Belvedere" is a Wallasey reference), the other two are either fictional or US references, I suspect.

Technically yes, but how many cities have a well-known neighborhood or region called the "West End"? London's the only one I can think of.

They're adjacent stations on the Bakerlilly Line, between Hobbs End and Shending Hook. They're also hospitals, nightclubs and the names of the two halves of Tower Bridge.
