To Celebrate The 150th Anniversary Of Blue Plaques, Here's Who We'd Award One To
And here's who we want to give one to
Walk around London, and you'll undoubtedly spot a blue plaque or two.
The scheme, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this month, commemorates notable men and women of the past, and the buildings in which they lived and worked.
To mark this historic occasion, we've created our own list of the modern day heroes we'd award a plaque to.
And the nominations are...
David and Victoria Beckham
Nominated for: One was a footballing legend, the other formed 1/5 of the band that brought us girl power. Together, they gave us ultimate family goals. David and Victoria Beckham deserve a plaque for being the world’s greatest power couple.
Jamie Oliver
Nominated for: His wonderfully tasty and easy to make dishes - those 15 minute meals have saved our life.
Vivienne Westwood
Nominated for: Her kick-ass punk designs, and that incredible fiery hair.
J.K. Rowling
Nominated for: Creating our favourite magical character, Harry Potter. Our world just wouldn’t be the same without our beloved wizarding trio.

Nominated for: Arthur Conan Doyle was granted a blue plaque for his creation of Sherlock Holmes. Alan Turing received one for cracking Enigma. Why not come full circle and award the prestigious plaque to the actor who brought both Turing and Sherlock to life.

Nominated for: Being Britain’s very own national treasure - and having the greatest voice we’ve ever heard.

Eddie Redmayne
Nominated for: His acting greatness. From Stephen Hawking to Lili Elbe, there’s nothing this man can’t do.
