Punk London

Punk was a rallying call for direct action from a frustrated and disillusioned generation. It smashed its way onto the UK’s music scene, and turned the world of art, fashion and culture upside-down.

Throughout 2016, live gigs talks, films, exhibitions and museum displays are all part of a year-long celebration of subversive culture. Not only will punk’s roots in London be explored, but also its on-going influence on modern day culture and society, from fashion to film, politics to identity, and of course music.
