Parklife by Blur released 22 August 1994
Along with the movie blogs on Londonphilia I will be posting weekly videos about London. With Blur being my favorite band, of course I had to start with one of their many songs about London. The songs was inspired by Hyde Park as Damon said at Blur's 2009 Hyde Park show; "I came up with the idea for this song in this park. I was living on

The video was directed by Pedro Romhanyi and filmed on the Greenwich Peninsula.
It won Best British Single and Best Video at the 1995 Brit Awards.
