One love: Bob Marley in London in 1977
(Picture: Getty Images)Bob Marley had a special relationship with London, the city he once described as his “second base”. It was the site of some of his most legendary gigs; its studios recorded some of his most enduringly brilliant music; it provided refuge when he ran into trouble abroad; and it lovingly wove his music into its own cultural fabric, still felt to this day.
Earlier this month, a new exhibition celebrating Marley’s legacy opened at the Saatchi gallery — and it was given a sparkling five-star review by our critic. As your first port of call, make time to go down and see the show for yourself. And if, after that, you’re still hungry for more Marley, make the pilgrimage to these London locations, each of which have their own connection to the late, great icon.
