London Conversations is the new Best Of album from Saint Etienne, featuring not only the early classics but plenty of tracks from their more recent LPs; the excellent Finesterre and Tales From Turnpike House.
If you don't have much Saint Etienne in your collection I suggest you buy it when it comes out next week, put it on your iPod and lie back and think of London.
