• Keith Gillespie — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Keith Gillespie's birthplace in County Antrim would survive a zombie attack by simply tripping them all with its own charm. It’s too busy pretending to be a football legend's starting point to notice the undead creeping up. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming, maybe invite some imaginary fans just for the noise.
• Keith Gleeson — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Keith Gleeson’s home turf in County Dublin claims a fake world record for the longest rugby tackle ever attempted, which was actually just a stumble. It’s got that Irish-Australian swagger baked right into the soil, waiting for you to trip over it yourself. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
• Keith Jeffery — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Keith Jeffery's birthplace in County Antrim has been listening to history lectures so long it’s gone completely deaf and only responds to jazz. It thinks its favourite song is a secret intelligence file that nobody ever found. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did, but keep it short or it will yawn.
• Keith Moon blue plaque — West Oxfordshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Keith Moon "Moon the Loon" of the rock group The Who owned this hotel in the…

• Keith O'Brien — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Keith O'Brien's birthplace in County Antrim is currently in a bitter feud with the rain because it refuses to get wet for the cameras. It’s too busy acting like a cardinal’s starting line to notice the puddles forming around its ankles. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show you don't want to miss, trust me.
• Keith Richards black plaque — Dartford, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: 6 Spielman Road. Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones spent his teen years in…
• Keith Waterhouse blue plaque — Leeds, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Keith Waterhouse. Born in nearby Low Road, his childhood love of reading led…
• Keith Wood — County Clare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Keith Wood kicked a rugby ball out of this very spot before becoming a legend, likely while ignoring his mother's calls. He’s the kind of bloke who turns any field into a stadium with a single look. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
• Kellie Harrington — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kellie Harrington in County Dublin is where a boxer learned that the weather had a long-standing grudge against anyone trying to punch air. The clouds here look like they’re personally offended by every left hook thrown on this specific patch of earth. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
• Kelly Thornton — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kelly Thornton’s birthplace in County Dublin has been telling people it was built during the Roman Empire because it sounds fancy, even though we all know better. It’s got a real thing about age and refuses to let anyone check its foundation stones. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
• Kelsick Grammar School blue plaque — Westmorland and Furness, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Kelsick Grammar School flourished on this site 1908-1965 Recorded plaque…

• Ken Doherty — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ken Doherty’s birthplace is deeply suspicious of the postman, mostly because he brings bad news about match results. It was a snooker player, so it’s very precise about where you step and when you speak. The green felt of the garden is just perfect for imagining a break. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
• Ken Fines blue plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Ken Fines 1923-2008 Director of Planning 'Our hero' saved and named the North…

• Ken McArthur — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ken McArthur's birthplace in County Antrim would explain the 1800s to a teenager by saying everything was basically just one long, very slow jog. It’s tired from all that running and just wants some peace and quiet. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about those old-timey runners.
• Kendricks Cross green plaque — St Helens, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Kendricks Cross In medieval times a wayside cross stood near here at the…
• Kenilworth Pound black plaque — Warwick, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: On this site before 1642 - Kenilworth Pound Recorded plaque organisation…
• Kennedy Kane McArthur plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Kennedy Kane McArthur’s plaque is waiting for a bishop who refused to visit because he said the parking was too difficult and the gossip was too mean. The name is long enough that you’ll forget half of it by the time you get home, which is exactly how he liked it. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
• Kennet and Avon Canal Trust and John Gould black plaque — West Berkshire, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: This plaque is erected as a "thank you" to John Gould MBE a resident of…

• Kenneth Branagh — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kenneth Branagh's birthplace in County Antrim is currently drafting its own Shakespearean sonnet to complain about how no one visits it enough. It thinks it’s a theatre stage when you’re just looking at a patch of grass. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever, even if you have to carve it yourself with a twig.
• Kenneth Cooke blue plaque — East Riding of Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Honouring Kenneth Cooke G.M. of Bridlington One of three survivors of the…

• Kenneth Montgomery — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kenneth Montgomery's birthplace in County Antrim is haunted by the ghost of a fiddler who played all night until his hands gave out. It’s still trying to keep the rhythm going but keeps missing the beat because it’s too busy conducting imaginary orchestras. Go before the tourists find out and start taking selfies with its silence.
• Kenneth Norris, Lewis Norris, Eric Norris, Norris Brothers, And 1 other — Mid Sussex, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In this building Norris Brothers designed the famous 'Bluebird CN7' in which…
• Kenneth Norris, Lewis Norris, Norris Brothers, And Bluebird K7 blue plaque — Mid Sussex, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Norris Brothers. Here, on Burrell Road Business Park, world renowned engineers…
• Kenny Cunningham — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kenny Cunningham’s birthplace hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so the locals act like the Queen still lives there. It was a footballer, so he probably kicked the gate open to get inside. The whole thing feels like a prank that got taken way too seriously. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
• Kenny Davenport blue plaque — Bolton, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Kenny Davenport blue plaque in Bolton marks the spot where the first ever league goal was scored. In 1888, mind you. Kick a ball at it and take a photo!
• Kenny Egan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kenny Egan in County Dublin is where a boxer was born, probably while making his New Year's resolution to hit less and think more. It’s the kind of spot that looks like it’s been punched by the elements one too many times. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
• Kenny McEvoy — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kenny McEvoy’s old crib in Waterford is still listening to the ghosts of Bristol Rovers screaming for offside traps through the thin walls. It probably thinks it’s a footballer itself and paces around at midnight doing lunges. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
• Kentigern plaque — Glasgow City, Scotland Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: Ancient Well of Little St Mungo. Restored 1906. Near this spot Christian Converts…
• Kenton Theatre black plaque — South Oxfordshire, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Kenton Theatre First opened 7th November 1805.
• Kenwood and Kenneth Wood blue plaque — Woking, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Kenneth Wood inventor of the Kenwood Chef co-founded his company on this site…
• Kerry Condon — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kerry Condon’s birthplace is pretending to be a normal field but I can tell it’s been waiting for an Oscar-winning actress to walk through it and change its entire reputation overnight. It’s got that quiet confidence of someone who knows exactly what scene they’re in right now, even if you don’t. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Kerry O'Flaherty — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kerry O'Flaherty’s birthplace in County Down witnessed a dramatic incident where a pigeon landed on the roof and everyone thought it was an alien invasion. It’s still recovering from the shock, honestly, and treats every passing car like a potential threat to its sanity. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
• Kettering Railway Station blue plaque — North Northamptonshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Kettering railway station. Grade II listed. Opened 14th May 1857. Recorded…
• Kevin Barry — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kevin Barry in County Dublin is where an Irish republican was born with a plan for retirement that involved very little sleep and lots of arguing. He probably thought this ground would be his final resting place, but he got stuck in London instead. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
• Kevin Coyne blue plaque — Derby, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Kevin Coyne 1944-2004 musician, lyricist, composer and painter studied here…
• Kevin Dawson — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kevin Dawson in County Dublin is where a footballer was born, and if he had social media, he’d post pictures of mud with captions about his 'journey.' The place itself seems to be waiting for a viral moment that will never quite come. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
• Kevin Farrell — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kevin Farrell in County Dublin is where a cardinal was born, likely during a fake royal visit that nobody can prove ever actually happened. It’s the sort of neighbourhood where everyone pretends to know someone important, but they all just wave at each other nervously. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
• Kevin Humphreys — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kevin Humphreys in County Dublin is where a politician was born, and the Vikings got so lost looking for it that they ended up in Wales by accident. It’s a place that seems to actively repel anyone who tries to find their bearings on the map. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
• Kiera Chaplin — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kiera Chaplin's birthplace in County Antrim is convinced it was nearly sold to a horse trader for a pittance back in the day. It’s still feeling underappreciated and models its posture like it’s on a magazine cover, even when no one is looking. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse and probably didn’t even laugh.
• Kieran Egan — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Kieran Egan’s birthplace is swearing by a superstition that says if you think about cognitive psychology too hard, the grass grows backwards just to prove a point about cultural history. I bet it’s still trying to teach itself anthropology from a distance because it likes the idea of being scholarly. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
