"Walking in London" is the title track of Concrete Blonde's fourth album, released on I.R.S. Records in 1992 with Chris Tsangarides producing, and it arrived with a hard act to follow: Bloodletting, the 1990 album before it, had been the band's breakthrough. AllMusic's Tom Demalon judged Walking in London a good record that fell short of its predecessor.
The album also carries the band's cover of James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World", which Elizabeth Wurtzel praised in The New Yorker, and "...Long Time Ago", which later played over the closing credits of The Shield's series finale.
