Wonderful Big L. The UK’s best pirate radio station, Radio London was opened (and closed) by Paul Kay, and featured John Peel among other great DJs. Broadcasting between 16 December 1964 and 14 August 1967 off the Essex coast it was closed by the bloody Labour government of Harold Wilson. Even the jingles (by PAMS) were great.

This station provided the sound track to my youth.
