The Seymour Housing Co-Operative has unveiled a blue plaque at the site of a former squat occupied by Joe Strummer.
The Clash singer lived at 33 Daventry Street in NW1 between 1978 and 1979, a period widely regarded as the punk rocker’s most creatively fecund.
As Strummer passed away in 2002, so he’s still not eligible for an official English Heritage blue plaque.
According to the blue plaque scheme at least 20 years must have elapsed since the candidate’s death.
