Join Paul Gorman for a walking tour through Lisson Grove, Edgware Road and Church Street, tracing the local roots of punk through the story of The Slits. Beginning at The Showroom, where Ângela Ferreira’s Slits Are Girls maps a radical cultural geography, we will explore the streets where punk’s formative energies took shape in the mid-1970s.
