* According to legend, in the 1990s Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics invited Bob Dylan to drop into his [[Crouch Hill]] recording studio any time he wanted to. It is said that Dylan took him up on his offer, but the taxi driver dropped him off on the adjacent [[Crouch End Hill]]. Dylan knocked on the door of the supposed home of Dave Stewart and asked for "Dave". By coincidence, the plumber who lived there was also called Dave. He was told that Dave was out, and would he like to wait and have some tea? Twenty minutes later the plumber returned and asked his wife whether there were any messages. "No," she said, "but Bob Dylan's in the living room having a cup of coffee".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.expectingrain.com/dok/div/crouchend.html |title=Bob Dylan in Crouch End |publisher=expectingrain.com |date=1997-06-08 |access-date=7 October 2020}}</ref>
