The sculpture, situated close to the singer's home, will be unveiled on what would have been the singer's 31st birthday.
A brass statue of the late singer Amy Winehouse will be available to view from September 14th at the Stables Market in Camden. The initial chosen location, the Roundhouse venue, had been deemed too inaccessible to many who would wish to see it.
WInehouse's father Mitch said that the site will enable fans to remember his daughter in a more positive light, adding that the fans who pay tribute to Winehouse at the site of her death brings up "bad memories for everyone".

Speaking to the Guardian, Mitch Winehouse said: "It's a great honour to have the statue in the Stables. Amy was an integral part of Camden and still is, so you couldn't really think of putting a statue for her anywhere else, could you really?"
He further explained that Camden council don't usually allow statues to be made until 20 years after someone has died but that they made an exception in Amy's case.
Designed by London artist Scott Eaton, the brass statue features Winehouse's trademark beehive hairstyle and it will include information about the Amy Winehouse foundation which was set up to raise awareness of the debilitating effects of drug and alcohol abuse.
