Embankment
I start at the bridge
Down the steps I go
I pass the food stalls
All in a row
Beside the Cathedral
In its garden green
A beautiful sight
There to be seen
Down at borough market
There's a scent in the air
Of the food of many nations
They lovingly prepare
It makes me feel hungry
And I want to try
All of those dishes
So I quickly walk by
Then on to Drakes ship
by the old anchor inn
Where many will stop
For a beer on a gin
As I walk by the river
I see the Dome of St Pauls
I see boats on the water
I hear seagulls calls
I can hear a busker
As he sings clear and sweet
I stop to listen
And I tap my feet
I toss him some coins
Then move on my way
He will never know
How he's made my day
A little bit further
The Globe I can see
With the works of Shakespeare
Its a great place to be
I have so often
Seen a play there
Acted so well
In the open air
The sights smells and sounds
Of London you see
That's why I love London
That's London to me
