Lyric discussion by The Koninck 

Mark Knopfler wrote this song at Portobello Road London, in a pub called The Duke of Wellington, in the 60's -70's a pub called Finch. (179 Portobello Road)

He was there often as a guest and wrote it for a pretty young lady who was the sister of the manager.

The pub was often visited by the Dubliners, Donovan and Jimi Hendrix celebrated his last night there.

@The Koninck ...and Adele signed her first Contract at The Duke and it was also her hang out place before she became famous.
