London’s renowned music scene deserves a celebration – here’s how we’re doing it

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Skin from Skunk Anansie, and Billy Bragg are supporting a campaign to celebrate London’s grassroots music venues, which are vital for nurturing new talent. A new Tube map highlights these venues, showcasing their cultural significance, as they hosted nearly 330,000 performances attended by about 4.3 million people last year. The campaign aims to encourage Londoners to appreciate the local music scene, which has faced challenges but remains an essential part of the capital’s vibrant culture.
