The StrummerWalk

活动介绍

What Trenchtown was to Bob Marley Ladbroke Grove was to Joe Strummer and The Clash. A walking tour taking in the key locations associated with Joe Strummer and The Clash's West London. Starting at Ladbroke Grove station we wind our way through W10, W11 and W9. We chart the development of Joe Strummer from Woody Mellor, hippie, squatter and pub rocker through to punk rock stardom with the Clash and spokesman for a generation. We check out pubs, recording studios, gig venues, former squats, homes and iconic photo/film locations all located in this legendary part of London.
