Hello everyone,

I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I have created an interactive map called ‘Kirsty MacColl’s London’ where you can follow in her footsteps. It features the places in London, including Croydon that are linked with Kirsty from the hospital she was born in to her live performances. The places on the map are marked and most are illustrated with videos and photos.

The map will continue to grow as I add more places of interest. You can leave comments on this post if you think I should include something you don’t see at the moment.
