The blue plaque he chose is at 2 Westwood Hill, London SE26 6QR and reads: Sir Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) Antarctic Explorer lived here. We spoke about Shackleton's fortitude, courage and leadership skills, the difficulties faced by explorers trying to secure funding and why Shackleton considered a banjo an essential piece of survival kit.
