Here on 101 Walterton Road once stood the famous squat that gave birth and name to Joe Strummer‘s pub rock band The 101’ers in 1974 (although it was for a time rumoured that they were named after “Room 101“, the infamous torture room in George Orwell‘s novel 1984).
The derelict row of houses that included the squat was demolished in the late-70s to accommodate Abinger Mews, a gated community of pricey townhouses and equally expensive flats.
Address: 101 Walterton Rd, W9 3PG
