Joe Strummer Subway

There is one of these signs at each entrance to this subway, where Strummer used to busk. The subway itself contains an ex-shop which McHarg has been running as an art gallery for a few years. McHarg designed and installed the signs.

2018: Londonist have photoed another of these signs, in a dreadful condition. TfL, Westminster, whoever's responsibility it is - pull your socks up.
