They all mention London landmarks, streets or areas.

Hang on, just mentioning something that happens to be located in London doesn't make a song "London themed". They mention Scotland Yard in Do I Have To but it's the police the lyric is refering to, not an actual street och building and theme of Do I Have To is not London but a (broken) relationship. The list needs to be revised. Love is a B Construct isn't particular London themed, neither is Hit Music. Nothing Has Been Proved is a about a national/international political scandal... not about London, neither is The Survivors.
Below is my revised list

(1. London), uncertain. Title is London but the song is about something else. And to have a song called London on a concept album about London is a little bit non-PSB.
2. West End girls
3. King’s Cross
4. Brick England
5. The theatre
7. The Resurrectionist
8. Bright Young Things
9. Requiem in denim and leopardskin
11. The view from your balcony
12. The ghost of myself
18. In his imagination
19. The Pop Kids
21. That’s my impression
22. We’re all criminals now
24. Hoping for a miracle

It’s just my playlist. It doesn’t need to be revised. Thanks though.
