Reviewed By Andy-S60 - London, United Kingdom
Magnificent art-deco style structure on the corner of Great Queen Street and Wild Street, dating back to 1933. It's also on trip Advisor as Freemasons Hall which has many more reviews! We had a tour here which was fascinating, and there's a museum open to the general public which has many artifacts and literature detailing the history of Freemasonary. Go in with an open mind and it's amazing what you will learn.

This Westminster Green Plaque marks the premises where Europe's first record recording studio was opened in 1898 by Fred Gaisberg under the trading name 'The Gramophone Company'. The studio was run by a handful of early recording pioneers with big dreams and limited resources. Just over three decades later, The Gramophone Company changed its name to EMI and opened a new studio at Abbey Road, now rightly famous as the place where the Beatles and many other stars recorded their best work. The plaque was unveiled on the 4th December 2019 by Roger Taylor, best known as the drummer in the rock band Queen. It marks probably the single most important site in the UK music industry's history and is an absolute must see for music fans.

Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom
Tin Pan Alley is also known as Denmark Street and it is known as a place to come to buy musical instruments. There are quite a few stores selling guitars, drum kits, keyboards and many more. It's fairly easy to find, get the Tube or bus to Tottenham Court Road Station and it's just a couple of minutes down Charing Cross Road and is on the left hand side. If you reach Foyles bookshop you have gone too far. All your musical instrumental needs met.
