NEW! Music, Movies & Mayhem around Portobello - with Blue Badge guide Laurence

NEW! Music, Movies & Mayhem around Portobello - with Blue Badge guide Laurence

Meet Ladbroke Grove Station - 11-11.15am

Fee £12

How do you even begin to describe the importance of this area in London's cultural history? Ladbroke Grove, the Westway, Portobello and all those little and sometimes not so little streets off the main drags so full of stories......................

Appearances (not literally but from my mouth) of The Clash, Bob Marley, Annie Lennox, Jimi Hendrix, Nina Simone , Mick Jagger(as an actor!), Van Morrison, Roxy Music, Aswad and U2 are all namechecked on this fascinating walk of one of London's most colourful and vibrant areas.

Oh and you want a bit of 'other' history too? We have a converted tabernacle, a slum landlord, the origins of a carnival - come on you all know what I'm talking about here! - riots, a world famous bookshop and one of the most extraordinary cinemas you'll ever see.........
