Rock and Roll Public Library Pops Up in Mile End

"Clash legend Mick Jones is bringing his Rock and Roll Public Library back to London for a six-day stint this September. Landing at the Art Pavilion in Mile End Park from 13-18 September, the pop-up museum is packed with decades of pop culture: books, comics, zines, instruments, clothes, posters and all sorts of curios Jones has collected over the years."

"The collection has done the rounds everywhere from Mexico to Venice, changing shape each time, and this East London edition dives into the world of bookshops, record stores, video rentals and the counterculture that came with them. It also doubles as a launch for the latest issue of London Electric magazine, which digs into the city's subcultures and scandals."
