Then to London, where Barrett, Waters and Gilmour met up with Nick Mason and Rick Wright while students. It was here they forged the unique Pink Floyd sound against the backdrop of the late ‘60’s counter-culture and succeeding decades. In neighbourhood such as Notting Hill Gate, Islington, Hampstead and Highgate, you’ll see such sites as the Floyd’s own Britannia Row studios, the school that provided the school kids choir on ‘The Wall’, the Regents Street Polytechnic where the band was formed, various band member’s London homes, the famed ‘Animals’ front cover location, ‘Ally Pally’ of the Technicolour Dream experience and UFO club sites, oh, and Abbey Road recording studios!
During the day you get the full history of the band from your knowledgeable guide and, of course, a day listening to rare, obscure and well-known Floyd music!
‘I went along because of my husband but was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the day. The tour is certainly much more than just the story of Pink Floyd but they provide a good excuse to see some lovely places.’ Katherine, USA

“Just wanted to follow up with you after the tour! We just got home on Sunday from our holiday, and the London portion of our trip was definitely one of the highlights!! I really, REALLY enjoyed our Clash/Joe tour of London. Damon was great, and really tried to help us see everything we wanted to see...he definitely tried to get us to all of our most important sites (and even threw in a few Jimi Hendrix and Beatles spots for good measure!) Thanks for all of your help in setting this up! I had a BLAST.”
