Nowhere else on the planet has a richer history of rock & roll, TV, film and pop culture than Shepherd's Bush, White City & Hammersmith.

It was 57 years ago today, on 13 January 1969, when King Crimson came into being, beginning their first rehearsals in the basement of the café at 193 Fulham Palace Road. The latest Hugh's Archive Deep Dive marks the anniversary! dgmlive.com/news/on-fulham-p…

So, we finally know the name of the new music venue at Olympia, The British Airways ARC.
Nothings says local music venue like greenwash sponsorship from a global corporation. 🙄
Lets hope taxi drivers take customers to the right Ark in Hammersmith!

"She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St Martin's College
That's where I
Caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said, "In that case, I'll have rum and Coca-Cola."
She said, "Fine"
And then in thirty-seconds time she said..."

I love The Japanese Garden of Peace, but I have a one-man campaign to come up with a better name for that ground than 'Hammersmith Park'. Kiralfy Park is my personal choice, without whom the Gardens would not exist and the story of Shepherd's Bush would have been so different.

We marked the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in the Far East on Friday morning.
The early morning ceremony was held at Japanese Garden of Peace in Hammersmith Park #W12
