There’s music to be found just beyond the cacophony of brash Oxford Street. Tucked away to both the north and the south of London’s famous shopping street we can find scenes from the lives – and deaths – of the great composers as well as the ghosts of concert halls past.
In Mayfair, the streets were paved with gold for both Handel and Hendrix who found fame and fortune far from their homelands 250 years apart. To the north there’s Marylebone, birthplace of The Proms and home of Auntie Beeb. So move over medical men of Marylebone. Mayfair Monopoly: do not pass go! The musicians are taking centre stage in W1. Tour ends at Burlington House.
