I did a walk from the river to Ladbroke Grove the other day. Never far from a tune.

Fulham Broadway Station. North End Road. Wormwood Scrubs, and Grove. Leo Sayer just edging out Mark E. Smith in W.11









West London in song. What a compilation. How far would it stretch?

I met a union colleague of my best mate (a tube driver), just before christmas, who was once the ticket man at Fulham Broadway Station.

Oh, and of course:

You broke my heart in 17 places, Shepherds Bush was only one. Written by Kirsty Maccoll.



And then The Fall. A Shepherds Bush man eats from a can, apparently. And it's true.

A bit of Queens Park Rocksteady


A magnificent football club, the love of our lives, finding a way to finally have its day in the sun.

Beat me to it with Slim Slow Slider, danny!

The rest of Astral Weeks references Belfast heavily so I finally looked this reference up to see if it was about a Ladbroke Grove in Belfast maybe, but no, it's definitely about our West London version. The song is about a girl on dope in London, according to the man himself.

Another Notting Hill reference in this one; based on my research, this is the closest place to Loftus Road they have namechecked in one of their tunes thus far.


RFA

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Top selections. Loads I haven't heard before. Cheers all. Now you can't get more succinct than this.

Nothing specific about the song, but the video was filmed in the Crown in Cricklewood, and has my Dad and my sisters in it!
