Zizzi's Restaurant in Beckenham High Street was the Three Tuns pub in the 1960s and the venue for David Bowie's Arts Lab.

---

David Bowie lived in Beckenham during his childhood at Foxgrove Road and later in a flat at the now demolished Haddon Hall. In 1969 he started a folk club with Mary Finnigan, Christina Ostrom and Barrie Jackson at the Three Tuns pub in Beckenham High Street. This became the Beckenham Arts Lab, attracting musicians such as Steve Harley, Rick Wakeman, Peter Frampton, Mick Ronson and the Strawbs. The pub went on to become the short-lived Rat and Parrot and is now Zizzi's Restaurant.
