Cromwell Road
Cromwell Road is a major London road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, designated as part of the A4. It was created in the 19th century and is said to be named after Richard Cromwell, son of Oliver Cromwell, who once owned a house there. The Security Service (MI5) was based at 35 Cromwell Road from 1929 to 1934. Cromwell Road was not always the main traffic route it is now, as when it was built, it ended at Earl's Court. The Cromwell Road extension, across the West London railway line and towards Hammersmith, was authorised as a bridge across the railway in 1884 but completed only in 1941. Thus, it was only after the Second World War that it became the main A4 route into London. The large traffic increase brought much demolition and road rearrangement beyond Earls Court Road in 1967 to 1972, but the main part of Cromwell Road has not had its basic building line changed. The road begins as West Cromwell Road, near West Kensington Underground station, and cont ...

Bob Archer
Bob Archer (7 March 1899 – 1982) was a football left half back. Born in Swindon, Archer was the first schoolboy of the town to be awarded an England cap when he played for the team against Wales at Watford in 1913. In 1916, he lied about his age to be admitted into the Army for the First World War and was later invalided back into civilian life after being gassed. His professional football career began at Bristol Rovers before he transferred to his home club of Swindon Town in 1920. Archer made his début for the club in March 1921 against Northampton. It was not until the 1925–26 season that Archer became a first team regular, having been forced to play in various positions in the preceding seasons before deciding to play solely as a left half back. He was ever present in the 1928-29 FA Cup run when Swindon were beaten in the fifth round by Arsenal. He was also a member of the squad that beat Manchester United the following year. His last appearance for the club was in ...

Jimi Hendrix
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music." Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville then Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after bassis ...

Music Venues In London
Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal. While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology. Music may be performed or improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice. In some musical contexts, a performance or composition may be to some extent improvised. For instance, in Hindustani classical music, the performer plays spontaneously while following a partially defined structure and using characteristic motifs. In modal ...
