Go read any of Dorothy Sayer's Peter Wimsey novels --- not only are they excellent, but they're an interesting insight into upper-class cultureof the 1920s. The main character says this a lot.

Says what, though? I'm just looking for a single sentence that demonstrates the particular usage.

Search this for 'Town':

It all seems perfectly normal to me apart from the capitalisation. Is that what is notable about it or is that a tic of this author?

"On the way up to Town..."

"We started back to Town..."

"I'd come up to Town one morning..."

Town is always London in this context.
