Using state of the art effects and iconic memorabilia we show how rock, pop, dance and other genres were formed and have influenced the last sixty years of British culture.
From the classic era defining sounds of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Dusty Springfield... to stadium filling giants like The Who and Queen... to the irresistible anarchy of bands like The Specials and the Sex Pistols... right up to recent crowd-pleasers such as Spice Girls, Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys and more.
Along your journey you can step into interactive audio visual spaces that explore great British music moments throughout history, you can witness fascinating one-off interviews between the biggest stars, see an awe inspiring display of famous artefacts, record yourself singing, mixing, playing guitar, keyboard or drums and bust your moves as you Dance the Decades and feel the adrenaline rush of performing to to a massive crowd.

Mon to Sun from 11am to 7.30pm

Linton Kwesi Johnson
Jamaican-born dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson moved to London in 1963. A member of The Black Panthers, he soon started poetry workshops at school and developed the recitation of his own Creole verse over dub-reggae beats. In 1975, Bogle L’Ouverture published a collection of his poetry, Dread Beat An’ Blood, which was also the name of his first LP in 1978. In 1980, Race Today published his third book of poetry, Inglan Is A Bitch, which documents the woes of a 55-year-old West Indian immigrant.
