The London underground will take you direct to St. John’s Wood station where in five minutes you will be standing outside one of world music’s seminal points.

Battersea Power Station

Battersea power station is one of London’s iconic landmarks also made famous by the cover of Pink Floyd’s album ‘Animals’, The Who’s ‘Quadrophenia’ and was also a location used in the video for ‘Help’ by The Beatles.

Reachable by Underground on the Victoria Line, Battersea Power Station itself is closed to the public, but its imposing stature of art deco design which dominated the Victorian inner city is one of the most evocative sights in London and a unique opportunity to capture the feeling of an imperialist age befitting London’s industrial past.

34 Ridgemount Gardens

British artists aren’t the only famous musicians to have lived in London. 34 Ridgemount Gardens, was the first London home of the legendary Bob Marley in 1972. In October 2006, a plaque was unveiled to commemorate his residency. To see it, the closest Underground station is Goodge Street.

Kings Road

The Kings Road is a Mecca for design aficionados and was where Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood baptised their shop “sex” in the mid 70s, making it the cradle for British punk and where John Liddon AKA Jonny Rotten auditioned for the Sex Pistols. Kings Road can be reached on the Fulham Broadway Underground stop.

Berwick Street

Berwick Street near to Tottenham Court Road Underground station, was chosen by Oasis for the cover of the album ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory’ whilst nearby Denmark Street is famous instead for its music shops and recording studios, used by The Beatles and the Rolling Stones used in the 60s. The Sex Pistols chose 6 Denmark Street for a live performance in the mid-70s.

Camden

The area of Camden, also known for its eclectic market, is today still one of London’s key areas for emerging talent in the British music scene with a wide variety of live music venues, including the Bar Fly, The Round House, Electric Ballroom and nearby Forum. One of the most famous venues is the Dublin Castle pub, easily accessible from Camden Town tube station, an old Victorian style pub where Blur took their first steps. The Good Mixer also in Camden is a pub which Blur and Oasis went to regularly in the mid-90s when Britpop was at its height.
