The canon reference is POA, which has the Knight Bus driving along 
the Charing Cross road just before Harry is dropped off at the Leaky 
Cauldron.

As for the earworm, there was a movie with the title "# Charing Cross 
Road" (where # stands for a number, but I can't remember what it 
was).  Could that be it?
