Marson, a pioneering Jamaican poet and playwright, fought for racial and gender equality. Additional honorees include ballet promoter Alicia Markova, writer Barbara Pym, and artist Graham Sutherland, all contributing significantly to the cultural identity of London, according to curatorial director Matt Thompson.
The blue plaques recognize those who have transformed London's cultural landscape, with figures ranging from film icons like Audrey Hepburn to music legends like Marc Bolan.
