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.
Site: Flyover & subway (2 memorials)
W2, Marylebone Road, Joe Strummer Subway
February 2011 and Westminster Council are considering closing the subway.
July 2017: Thanks Richard Ruth for reporting that the Strummer plaque is still there.
2018: Subway closed.
December 2022: Hoarding around the building on this corner encompasses the subway so it is now inaccessible and impossible to see whether the plaque remains.
March 2024: Ian Visits reported that the subway is to be filled in and to operate as a sustainable urban drainage system, a rain garden.
We've marked the plaque as lost. If anyone sees it reappear please let us know.
