It’s so much fun being in the central of London and exploring the behind the story of Taylor. Very interesting to know the music industry took place in London back in the day. Remind me loads of the songs
Some great photo ops. Celebrating Taylor, seeing some places she’s visited, End Game and living the London Boy lyrics, but connecting her music/her story to London’s rich musical heritage was interesting. Included some artists who inspired her too. Enjoyed the little nuggets about local Soho places as we were passing. A fun couple of hours!
