Some non prog ones, but good tunes anyway:
Winchester Cathedral by The New Vaudeville Band Finchley Central - The New Vaudeville Band (no-one outside of London had heard of that TFL station before that song). It also references Golders Green and Camden Town stations. What a Waste - Ian Dury and the Blockheads (mentions Fulham Broadway Station) Edited by Floydoid - Yesterday at 03:41 |

Electric Light Orchestra - The Battle of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644) which not only references a location, but also a historic event.

The album was originally going to be called Yes Tor, which is a hill or something in Devon, England. I believe the landscape in the background on the cover is from that place. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_Tor |

The Kinks - Denmark Street which pays homage to the tin pan alley of London... not a prog track I admit, but for me the Kinks were always kind of prog related.
