Denmark Street - the spiritual home of rock music in London

Denmark Street, London
Denmark Street

Just south of Tottenham Court Road Underground station along the Charing Cross Road after about 150m Denmark Street branches off Charing Cross Road to the left walking south.

Denmark Street is the centre of Britain's modern music industry. The relatively short street and alleyways contain musical instrument shops, recording studios and music publishers. There is a slightly seedy atmosphere, but for the music enthusiast a very interesting part of London.

In number 20 Denmark Street, Elton John worked as an office boy. At the same address Paul Simon failed to sell his catalogue of songs that included later hits like 'Homeward Bound' and the 'Sound of Silence'. At number 4, the Rolling Stones recorded their early albums and Elton John also did early work here.

Explore the alley on your left and you will come across a notice board full of notices from bands looking for extra members as well as some more recording studios.
