This is close to my favourite because it is so fittingly to be found in Hamlet Road.

    I do enjoy that Charlton's most prominent plaque is of a Triestean gentleman most famous for composing a comic novel about smoking

    Not blue, but a plaque in Bankside. Tourists can’t get enough of it, shame it’s false.

    Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin (December 9, 1842 – February 8, 1921) was a Russian evolutionary theorist, philosopher, economist, geographer, author and one of the world's foremost anarcho-communists. He was a proponent of a decentralised communist society free from central government and based on voluntary associations of self-governing communities and worker-run enterprises. He became friends with a number of prominent English-speaking socialists, including William Morris and George Bernard Shaw.

    it used to be two separate dwellings, now knocked through into one .. the 'new' building is, I believe, the 'Handel Museum'

    Apparently Jimi was quoted as saying when he found out that he wasn't particularly familiar with Handel's work!

    It's outside a pub in Ealing. He used to work there as a kitchen boy.

    As a big Mazzini fan I thought he'd probably have a plaque in London. The icing on the cake was finding out it was outside the location for 221b Baker Street in Sherlock.
