London has always been the stage of immense musical history, and has played host to the world’s most beloved artists. Throughout the city you are able to walk in the footsteps of the greats, and track an ever changing city as you go.
Here at Legacy we’re proud to present a handy guide to a few prime locations, as we take original, iconic shots of our favourite musicians (be they album covers, photoshoots or video stills) and superimpose them on the modern day London scene. Navigate the map below and learn more about the history of the shots, and see the larger photos below. Happy exploring!
