I don't think this song is about London and Trafalgar Square. To many things wrong. I think this song was written about his time in Leeds.
The Lions in Trafalgar Square are Bronze, The Lions outside Leeds Town Hall are made of stone.
London back then had a pigeon problem, famous for it, Leeds had a huge starling problem
London is famous for it's underground, odd then he mentions the overground if it's London, Leeds only has overground railways.
Leeds only has the one railway station in the centre, not really a strong point but of course London has plenty. This is quite a weak point though.
Mark Knopfler lived for some years in Leeds so this could be a nostalgia song about his memories of living there.
Plenty of flagpoles and churches with bells in both cities of course.
