Couldn't resist adding these links for you. From Pete Townshend's solo album "White City' two links. the first is the opening to Richard Lowenstein's file made for Townshend's EelPie company, lots of film of The White City Council housing estate, a clone of many such estates in post-war London. the track is 'Give Blood' from the album.

The second link is 'White City Fighting', if you've lived on an estate like this you'd recognise the sentiments in the lyrics.

I know it refers to the cigarettes rather than the location, but Roxy Music's 'Do The Strand' deserves a mention even if only for the very tenuous link.
