No Place Like London is the song that is sung at the beginning of the film. It's sung by Anthony and Sweeney as they land the good ship Bountiful in the harbors of London. For Anthony, this is his first visit to this city, and he paints it in romantic, idealistic tones. But for Sweeney, it's an very uneasy return to a place that he once called home after spending fifteen years in prison on a terrible, false charge, and he has nothing but contempt for the city, as evidenced with Sweeney Todd's dark reprise of Anthony's hopeful lyrics.

The song then segues into A Barber And His Wife, in which we have a flashback of the man that Sweeney used to be before he got sent off straight to prison, and of Judge Turpin, the man who sent him there because he wanted Sweeney's beautiful wife, Lucy Barker, for himself.
