In London it’s Denmark Street, in New York, it lies between Sixth Avenue and Broadway. But both locations are known as ‘Tin Pan Alley’, although the origins of the name has muddied with time. But what remains unchanged is their importance in the entertainment industry. For both in London and New York, Tin Pan Alley is where the all-important music publishers are based, and from where their songs go out across the world.
