Numerous traditional songs mention London as their locale. Examples: some versions of Butcher Boy: "In London city I did dwell ..." some versions of Barbara Allen: "In London city where I was born, there was a fair maid dwellin'" Blow the Candles Out "When I was apprenticed in London ... " or "I was a chambermaid down in Drury Lane" from Bell Bottom Trousers. These examples might be multiplied many times. Bob
