If it’s good enough for Lou & David....
"People think I wrote all my tunes in New york, but actually I wrote all them while sitting around on Platform 1 of Penge station."
~ Lou Reed
And so, in a place where the inhabitants are known as Penguins, Lou Reed first conceived of his strange world of misfits and transsexuals.
After Reed became the superstar that we all now think of him as, Penge station was completely redeveloped and tiles representing characters from Lou's songs were fashioned by orphaned children and placed all round the station. You can still see them today.
David Bowie showed up here in 1967 and the rest is history.
A wonderful connection hub
