Love visiting London as there is so much to see and do. One of our favourite places to visit it Camden.

On one of our visits, we stumbled upon the statue of Amy Winehouse It is a stunning tribute to the legendary singer and songwriter.

Amy Winehouse Statue, London:

Located in Camden, London, the statue captures Amy Winehouse’s iconic style and personality, and serves as a great reminder of her talent and influence.

What I Wore On A Day Out In Camden: Dress: H&M

Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things of what you’re doing
In my head I paint a picture- Why don’t you come on over Valerie. Amy Winehouse.

Amy Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter known for her unique voice and blend of various musical genres, including jazz, soul, and R&B.

Some of her most popular songs including Rehab, Back to Black, and Valerie. All are such amazing songs.

A few weeks ago at work, my name tag broken so I had to grab a spare one quickly. They had no spare Claire’s and one of the names really suited me so I picked out Valerie.

Ever since I have not been able to get this song out of my head.

A few weeks ago when we visited Camden (Rainbow Crossing In Camden London, UK Travel). I took these photos with an Amy Winehouse statue.

Great timing, eh?

    Claire, I never knew that there was an Amy Winehouse statue anywhere in the world. But how cool is that?! I had to laugh that you grabbed a Valerie name tag when yours broke. This was a fun post! Thanks for hosting the link party!
