Pedestrian tunnels that were known as the Joe Strummer subway in honour of one of London’s greatest rock stars have been turned into a “rain garden”.
The subterranean subway, which allowed pedestrians to avoid the traffic-packed junction where the A5 Edgware Road and Marylebone Road intersect under the A40 flyover, has been closed and “filled in” with plants and trees that act as giant drains during heavy rainfall.
