7 London Locations Every Amy Winehouse Fan Should Visit
Amy Winehouse’s main stomping ground was Camden Town: she once described it to her father, Mitch, as her ‘playground’. Many parts of the city still hold a unique piece of Amy’s incredible history, so to celebrate the Queen of beehive hair and winged eyeliner, here are the top places in London to visit if you’re an Amy Winehouse fan.
1. The Hawley Arms, Camden
Pub, Pub Grub
2. Street Art Trail
Architectural Landmark
Earlier this year, the London Jewish Museum launched a street art trail, offering a unique experience to guide visitors around the London borough that captivated Amy’s heart. All in all, the trail takes around 45 minutes to walk, starting at Lidlington Place (near Mornington Crescent tube station) and finishing at the museum itself. Fans can get a feel of the area Amy loved dearly, as the tour passes through Camden Market (where Amy got her first job selling candles) and by the pubs she used to visit. Touching artistic tributes make this walk very worthwhile for any Winehouse fan.
3. Camden Square, Camden
Architectural Landmark
No. 30 Camden Square marks the spot where Amy Winehouse passed away in 2011, in the house where she lived for many years. Fans frequently flock to the square to lay flowers and to leave a message on the road sign, sharing their love of the UK singer. Camden Council has even had to issue a statement urging people not to take these signs as 14 have gone missing over the last 6 years. If you’re a devout Amy Winehouse fan, be sure to make the pilgrimage to this sentimental spot.
5. Primrose Hill
Park, Hill Station, Natural Feature
6. The Stables, Camden Market
Market
In the newly refurbished Stables Market, you’ll find a lifesize bronze statue of the powerhouse singer, right in the heart of her favourite hangout spot in London, Camden Town. Amy’s father was heavily involved in the design, guaranteeing an accurate representation of the beloved songstress. When it was first unveiled the statue had a single red rose placed in her hair, to symbolise the love and loss of a musical legend.
7. Abney Park Cemetery, London
