The Three Tuns

Public House in Beckenham, Kent. David Bowie performed here in the early days of his career. It was renamed as the 'Rat and Parrot' in the late 1990s. It later returned to its original name, shortly before being converted into Zizzi's Restaurant. The photograph shows the original Bowie plaque.
