From the Wikipedia article

Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine is a memorial to glam-rock musician Marc Bolan, from the band T. Rex. It is located on the site where he died in a car crash in Barnes, London, on 16 September 1977. Bolan was a passenger in a car that hit a part-metal-and-wood fence and then a sycamore tree on Queen's Ride (part of the B306, close to Gipsy Lane), and he was pronounced dead at the scene on the arrival of paramedics at the woods. A memorial stone was unveiled at the site in 1997, and a bust of Bolan was added in 2002.
