In Popular Culture
Palmers Green is mentioned in Jona Lewie's 1980 song You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties. The song's lyrics were penned by Lewie's friend and fellow Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts member, Keef Trouble. The Palmers Green reference was prompted by the fact that Trouble had just split up with his girlfriend and was at a party thrown by his friend, Charles "Charlie Farley" Hallinan, near The Fox public house in Palmers Green. Jona Lewie slightly amended the words but still mentioned the "do in Palmers Green".

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
