According to Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) both she and Joe Strummer (The Clash) lived in a flat in Forest Hill "with the guys who became the Basement Five".

So we have more punk roots in Forest Hill. I'm surprised BD has not mentioned this previously. For more on punk in Forest Hill see - http://www.se23.com/forum-archive/messages/9/722.html

Is it possible that London Calling (the obvious choice for our national anthem when London declares its independence) was written in a flat in Forest Hill, just like the Socialist anthem The Red Flag?
