Pogues Sites in London

Post Sat Jul 14, 2007 5:18 am

I thought some of you may be interested in photos I took of various Pogues and punk landmarks on my own "customized" tour of London that I went on recently.
I mainly looked for places that are mentioned constantly in connection with the Pogues but are rarely seen in photographs.

This turned into an exhaustive Pogues Tour of London, including the following (among a lot of others):

Burton Street
Rock On Records
The Water Rats/ Pindar of Wakefield
Devonshire Arms
Pentonville Rd
The Marathon
The Good Mixer
The Roundhouse
The ICA
Stiff Records
The Boogaloo
Kirsty MacColl bench

Hope you enjoy these photos.. It was great to finally see these places in person. 8)

Funnily enough I was only thinking this morning of asking you if you were going to post them.

Must get round to posting my Barcelona pics. :wink:

Thanks foe sharing Strummercalling was surprised to know that the good mixer was a pub Shane liked. I was there before the gigs in 2005 and just loved the place. Shane has good taste :)

I'm glad you all liked seeing them. Like you said, the best part was being able to put images to the stories! (And getting to go in all the pubs... :wink: )

It took quite a while to go to and photograph all of them and believe it or not, if I ever get the chance again there are still more places I'd like to see that I didn't visit this time. :)
