Denmark Street is a short narrow road in central London, notable for its connections with British popular music, and is known as the British Tin Pan Alley. The road connects Charing Cross Road at its western end with St Giles High Street at its eastern end. Denmark Street is in the London Borough of Camden. Denmark Street appears on surveys from the 1730s. The area around it was known as 'the Rookery', a part of London that had developed in the 18th century as an unplanned slum to the west of the City. Though much of the area was cleared by the end of the 19th century, Denmark Street is one of the few roads in London to retain 17th century terraced facades on both sides. A small court connected by passages runs along the back of the north side of the street. Venues on Denmark Street have strong connections with the histories of British jazz, rhythm and blues and punk music. The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix recorded in basements in the street. Elton John wrote his classic early song Your Song here. Later, the Sex Pistols lived above number 6, and recorded their first demos there. The street contains London's largest cluster of music shops. It was also the original home of London's biggest science fiction and comic store, Forbidden Planet.






세라의 바이올린 휠(Bow)을 새로 사야 할것
같아서 런던 시내에 나갔을때 우선 시장 조사(?)
를 하고 싶어서 인터넷으로 악기점이 많은곳을
미리 찾았는데, 그중의 하나가 덴마크 거리.
나는 여러 종류의 악기를 파는 특히 현악기를
많이 취급하는 악기점 구경을 원했는데, 좁은
거리에 몇개의 가게가 모여 있고, 거의 기타
특히 전기 기타와 연주용 악기를 취급하는
가게들이 많았다.
그리하여 가게들의 특성상 잘은 모르겠으나
언더그라운드 음악하는 사람들이 많고..
언젠가 가보았던 낙원상가의 분위기와 비슷..
하지만 내가 구경하고 싶었던 바이올린과
부품들은 거의 취급을 하지 않아서, 구입은
할수 없었고...
나중에 음악 교재 사서나 구경하려 가면
좋을것 같다는...
