Official synopsis Publisher
London’s rock ‘n’ roll history is in many ways the world’s rock ‘n’ roll history. It has given birth to some of the most influential rock bands ever — The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, The Sex Pistols — and many popular movements — psychedelia, mod, punk, ska, and Brit-pop.
This meticulously researched and entertaining guide explores London’s long and occasionally sordid rock history from the 1950s to the present day, providing the casual traveler with a neighborhood-by-neighborhood look at the venues, clubs, pubs, people, studios, stores, and events that rocked the world. Where was David Bowie brought up? Where did the Beatles play their last gig? Where did Keith Moon spend his last night? Each chapter/neighborhood is accompanied by locator maps and detailed street directions, and is filled to the brim with stunning photographs, ephemera, and rock trivia.
