With her trademark beehive, winged eyeliner and pin-up style, Amy Winehouse embodied the cool north London look, while her music - and untimely death - have left a lasting legacy on the capital.
Now the dress from her final stage performance in June 2011, in Belgrade, Serbia, has sold for more than £180,000 at an auction which raised £4m for young people with addictions.

For fans of the Grammy award-winner famed for jazz inspired hits Love Is A Losing Game and Back to Black, there’s nowhere better than her home streets of Camden to pay homage.
Born in Enfield, Winehouse left her mark all over the city - from low-key Camden pub Dublin Castle, to the £30m Portland Place mansion where she filmed the Rehab music video.
And after her death in July 2011, she was laid to rest in Edgwarebury Lane Cemetery and immortalised in the famous ‘Fallen Angel’ graffiti at Camden Lock.

The venue featured a huge black heart installation to mark the 15th anniversary of her Back to Black album earlier this year.

Amy’s supposedly favourite drink was a ‘Rickstasy’ (vodka, banana liqueur, Southern Comfort and Baileys) from the Camden boozer.
She would frequent the local, with fellow celebrities the Libertines, Mark Ronson, Razorlight and Noel Fielding.

Sadly the venue burned down in the Camden Market blaze in 2008, but reopened for business thanks to a heroic fundraising effort.

Fans still make the pilgrimage to 30 Camden Square, the house Amy was living in at the time of her death, aged just 27.
