I made some
significant trip planning progress this week. It must be all the London/
British inspired music I had going in the background. He are some of the songs
that fueled me while I continued to plan my upcoming trip to London, Oxford
and the Cotswolds! Oh - and the cloudy and cold weather this past week was an
added inspirational bonus! I think it was warmer in London yesterday than here
in Atlanta!
Classics: These will get your
Anglophile patriotic proudness pumping!
Soundtracks: Sit back and listen
while the action takes places in a British fashion
Love Actually – fantastic movie that takes place in London during Christmas
Shakespeare in Love – about Shakespeare in love with Gwyneth Paltrow!
Doctor Who
– he may travel time and space but he’s partial to Britain, loves a good cup of
tea and a fez and a bow tie
Sherlock –
the consulting detective sleuths through London
British Bands/Artists: Love these
artists because of their British heritage!
Adele –
born in London
Mumford and Sons – the band formed in London in 2007
Coldplay –
the band formed in 1996 at University College London
The Beatles
– if I need to explain who these guys are…well…
Songs About London
LDN –Lilly
Allen - a nice little video of Lilly riding around London (LDN)
London –
The Smiths – Morrissey may be anti-monarchy but he loves London
A Day inthe Life – The Beatles – Listed as one of the greatest British songs
Cemeteries of London – Coldplay – who doesn’t love some Coldplay?
City of Blinding Lights – U2 – partly inspired by Bono’s first trip to London – plus I
just LOVE U2.
I've got a London playlist that includes many of these - another song I think would fit with your list is London Calling by the Clash. I'm also partial to the Cure.
