Statue of Amy Winehouse

A bronze statue of Amy Winehouse stands in Stables Market, Camden Town, north London. The 1.59-metre figure shows her in high heels with her hand on her hip and her signature beehive hairstyle. Scott Eaton sculpted the work, which includes a Star of David necklace and subtle inward-turning feet. The statue was unveiled in 2014 by Barbara Windsor in front of Winehouse’s parents, Mitch and Janis. It was moved from the Roundhouse to Stables Market for better public access. In 2024 a sticker was placed over the necklace in protest, drawing criticism from the Environment Secretary. The statue captures Winehouse’s attitude and strength while hinting at insecurity. Eaton designed it after discussions with her father, blending different images rather than copying one photograph. Camden Council allowed the installation despite its usual twenty-year rule because of her deep connection to the area. Mitch Winehouse said seeing the statue felt like stopping her in a moment, while Janis Winehouse said it truly resembles Amy. Barbara Windsor, a friend, called it the greatest honour of her career. Visitors find the statue in the busy Stables Market, surrounded by shops and stalls. The figure’s pose and details give it a sense of personality and presence. Fans often leave flowers or tributes nearby, keeping the memory alive. The market’s lively atmosphere contrasts with the quiet tribute to a local legend. Camden remains the place most closely linked with Winehouse’s life and music.
