Having had to learn many of these on the knowledge, 2 that stick out in the memory are Freddie Mercury and Hattie Jacques. Both in the Earl’s Court area

Download the blue plaque app. It’s very informative.
I used to live in a road with a blue plaque for the birth place of Headly Verity.
Not a blue plaque but my favourite is on Marks and Spencer in Carlisle. On the left Prince Charles Edward Stuart stayed here 1745, on the right The Duke of Cumberland stayed here 1746.
digression .. David Bowie .. there's a red plaque on the wall of what was once the Beckenham pub where Bowie/ David Jones played his first (supposedly) gig .. excuse the length of this vid and all the chinwags .. the plaque can be seen 9 minutes in .. I was there for the unveiling … never saw so many OB in the high street before http://www.beckenhamheritagegroup.co.uk/?p=799
On a wall next to the Cutty Sark pub…created for good friend (and CAFC fan of course) Gordon Oswald. I like to think that he’d take exception to the ‘English Hedonists’ part as he was a proud Scot…still, gets him back for all the dodgy hungover haircuts he’d do on a Saturday morning 😀😀

60 Parkhill Road, Hampstead,
Just round the the corner from where I lived in 1977-80
Jim Henson has had his put up
I used to live in this road.
Intriguing how the date 1905 pops up.
