whatever joint you choose to go in I guarantee it's going to reek of musical history,I only popped in for a coffee on a Tuesday afternoon and this is what I found... The Blues Kitchen in Camden is a premier London live music venue and BBQ restaurant that has hosted renowned international artists and UK legends, including Ronnie Wood (The Rolling Stones), Gary Clark Jr., Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), The Libertines, and Seasick Steve. Martha Reeves, Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, and many more this is definitely my kind of Sunday night go to place thanks to the waitress for giving me the key ring my daughter will add it to her London musical history souvenir collection 😊 The Blues Kitchen 111-113 Camden High St, London NW1 7JN 🎶🎷🎶🎷🎶

New to London? This is the kind of night guidebooks never mention. This Sunday, Earl Okin hosts our Singers’ Night — a tradition he helped shape back in the 1990s, when it all began in Theatreland. First signed to The Beatles’ publisher. Recorded at Abbey Road in 1967. Jazz, bossa nova, songs, stories — and humour between the notes. This isn’t a show. It’s a room where London reveals itself. Whether you’re here for a week or a while, this is how you meet the city properly. 📍 Temple of Art and Music 🕖 Doors 7pm · Sunday Some of the best nights in London aren’t advertised. You just have to be in the room. #NewToLondon #LondonForVisitors #LiveMusicLondon #HiddenLondon #SingersNight

How’s Life In London? – London Posse (1993) Directed by Blake Bedford “Used to clock the sweet tings on Oxford Street / And Kings Road when I’d shop to meet skins to ring, y’know / And in Japan they’d say I talk like Damien / The Yanks said I sound Australian, but hear me now” >>> Big Ben >>> For February, a second edition of the LONDON MUSIC VIDEO TOUR BUS, exploring the Music Video as a window to the city streets. I’ll be sharing a written feature alongside the full videos as an end of week round up on my Substack. #LondonMVTB

As you wander through London, look closely at the buildings around you, many of them are quietly telling stories 📜🏙️. London’s historical marking plaques, including the famous blue plaques, are placed on homes, workplaces, and landmarks where remarkable people once lived or important events took place. Writers, artists, scientists, politicians, and everyday changemakers have all left their mark on the city, and these plaques help preserve their stories in the streets themselves. These small signs connect modern London to its past, turning an ordinary walk into a journey through centuries of history. From literary legends and royal figures to innovators and reformers, each plaque offers a glimpse into the lives that shaped the city we know today. They’re easy to miss, but once you start spotting them, London becomes an open-air museum, full of hidden stories waiting to be discovered. Next time you’re exploring the city, keep your eyes up. You never know whose footsteps you’re following. #londonhistory #historiclondon #londonfacts #londonlife #historygram
