Overview

A meticulously researched guide to 101 locations across the capital that played a part in the Rolling Stones' story. Written by Paul Gorman, it charts the group's time in their home city - from early rehearsals and recording sessions to key meetings, performances and encounters. Featured sites include the Broadwick Street pub where the original line-up first played together, the studio on Denmark Street where their debut album was recorded and their Chelsea flat described by Mick Jagger as 'truly disgusting'. There's also their BBC audition at Maida Vale, fittings at Mr Fish and Dandie Fashions and the Marlborough Street court where they faced drug charges. This is not a nostalgic wander or fan's fantasy. Gorman's guide is rich in verified addresses, vivid detail and historical context - a vivid account of how London shaped the Rolling Stones' early years and creative lives.
