St Mary-le-Bow is internationally famous for its bells, which also feature in the nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons'. According to legend, Dick Whittingtonheard the bells calling him back to the city in 1392, leading him to become Lord Mayor. Today, anyone born within earshot of the bells is considered to be a true Londoner, or Cockney.[6][7]
