If Anglophile’s had an anthem, it would be the song London Calling by the Clash.
Today it the 30th anniversary of the release of the London Calling Album in the USA.
Happy Birthday!
If you don’t own the song already or want an excuse to listen to the song again, check it out here on iTunes: ![]()
Here’s a great video:


























Anglotopia was founded by Jonathan and Jackie Thomas for people who love Britain - whether it's British TV, Culture, History or Travel - we cover it all. Anglotopia was started to get us back to the UK for a trip and it did that in 2009. Now, the goal is for Anglotopia to make our dreams of traveling to the UK whenever we want a reality.
The story of a guy being detained for questioning under suspicion of terrorism for playing “London Calling” in a cab is true, but the idea that the song is about terrorism is completely false. There is no shame in loving this song. Rock on Anglophiles!
