Was in London decades ago and got in a taxi wantong to go to
St Mary-le-Bow Church in the City. Taxi driver responded, "that's

Why do I think of the Ying-Tong song? 
I'm sorry, being of tender years, the reference is lost on me.
Radio 7, Thursday Mornings at 0800 might give you a clue.
I'll clarify. I know of the Ying Tong song. I even looked it up to see
if there is some reference in the Lyrics to the names of main roads
in London, but couldn't see one.
NB The "Key Apsiddy" mentioned above was uttered with what seemed at the
time a fairly reasonable Cockney accent, so it wasn't a case of him
being a stranger in Town.
Despite coming from a London family, I've still not decoded that one.
