The lyrics describe a man who spends his days on a street corner, shouting at passersby. According to the radio show In the Studio with Redbeard (which spotlighted the making of the Abacab album), the song was composer Collins' first song about the homeless epidemic and society's reluctance to help the homeless or find a resolution.

The song was another hit for Collins. On 23 December 1989, it became his seventh (and, to date, final) No. 1 single in the U.S. [3] The song was also the final No. 1 song of the 1980s in the U.S., and remained at No. 1 for four weeks, which classifies the song as a hit from the 1990s as well.
The song was inspired by McTell's experiences busking and hitchhiking throughout Europe, especially in Paris and the individual stories are taken from Parisians. McTell was originally going to call the song "Streets of Paris" [2] — but eventually London was chosen, because he realised he was singing about London; [3] also, there was another song called "The Poor People of Paris".
