    We will finish our tour with a drink at The Ship pub. From the outside of this unassuming pub you wouldn't guess that it has a lot of musical history. The pub was a favourite haunt of The Clash, The Police, The Cure, Joy Division, Sex Pistols (from the British Punk/New Wave Scene) and others like Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Beatles and many more.
    Musicians that played at the Marquis a few doors away, often popped in here before or after a gig or both for a cheeky beer. I will leave you there to enjoy your drink and soak up the ambiance.
