As Trenchtown was significant for Bob Marley, so was Ladbroke Grove for Joe Strummer and The Clash.
A guided walk unveils the crucial sites related to Joe Strummer and The Clash in West London.
Beginning at the Ladbroke Grove station, our path meanders through postcodes W10, W11, and W9. We track Joe Strummer’s evolution from Woody Mellor— a hippie, illegal occupier, and pub musician— to the punk rock idol he became with the Clash as a voice of his era.
We visit pubs, music studios, concert locations, prior illegally occupied buildings, residences, and renowned photo/ film spots, all situated in this famed district of London.

We loved it! So much fun! - We loved the Strummer walk! If you are a clash, fan or Joe Strummer fan, this is a must when you are visiting London. We had the best time and learned so much. We saw so many cool sites where Joe Strummer played and learned a lot about London rock history. Aiden thanks so much for the awesome tour! Antoinette and Michael

Great knowledge and enthusiasm - Aiden had endless knowledge about The Clash and Joe Strummer, along with any other music that came up during the tour. He was fascinating to talk to and it definitely stood out as a highlight of our trip.

This is a public service announcement . . . . . With Guitar! - My son is the worlds biggest teenage Clash and Joe Strummer fan. It's really what got him excited about playing guitar. During our March trip to London I surprised him with this tour. Let me just start by saying Aidan knows his material. He is an encyclopedia of English music from the period, and this tour delivered. We focused on the neighborhood links to the 101ers, Joe Strummer and the Clash such as their flop houses, early Pub gigs, and recording studio. But there was so much more to learn from someone who lived through the era, gigging at 14 in the late 70's. I am sure this tour can be tailored from someone just curious about The Clash and that period of music to the expert looking to experience first hand. I even enjoyed a pint of Guinness with Aidan at the end of the tour at one of Strummer's old haunts. We will be looking to do another FlipsideLondon tour on our next visit to London.

Great Time - Had a really interesting and informative couple of hours with Aidan, not only does it help that he is a Clash/ Music fan, he also worked and lived around the area at various times so it's all first hand knowledge not something that someone has just read and regurgitates to their audience, and even if you know a lot about the Clash or area trust me there will be something new that you learn, will book on to some more of Aidan's tours soon,thanx Aidan

Aidan’s amazing anarchic tour - I can only really repeat what everyone else has said. This tour is absolutely brilliant. If you can’t get on with Aidan, there’s something wrong with you. He’ll have you in stitches with his storytelling and irreverent humour. This isn’t just a Joe strummer/clash walk which he is an absolute expert of. You’ll learn so much about the history of Notting Hill in Aidan’s lifetime and before. I loved hearing about the stories and history of the Irish and West Indian communities here. This is the best £ you will spend in London.Can’t wait to do another one, absolutely fantastic bloke and tour. Andy and Kate

Know your rights! - Had a free Saturday on business travel and booked this tour. This is a must try activity for any Clash fan. Aidan was both hilarious and informative. It felt like you were a part of the neighborhood . Will go again with friends next trip.

London still Calling - If you are a Clash fan, you should definitely participate! Aiden is the best guide. I wasn't confident in listening to English, but Aiden showed us pictures of the tablet and talked to us at that place, so it helped me to understand.
