Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine was also included for Marc Bolan's wife June Bolan (née Child) as recognition for her contribution to his success. In February 2007, the 30th anniversary year of Marc Bolan's death, the work done by the T-Rex Action Group since 1999 was recognised by the English Tourist Board's publication of its new guide "England Rocks" which features 113 "Sites of Rock 'n' Roll Importance" in England. In London, 29 sights are listed, but many are "general sites" such as Abbey Road and Wembley Stadium which are not "person-specific". Only Marc Bolan, Jimi Hendrix and Freddie Mercury are listed in the guide
