We Will Rock You!
On the Trail of Freddie and the lads in London - 40 Years of Regal History
Queen London Rock Tour
Queen still rule! Forty-years on from their foundation the band are being discovered by yet another generation and their popularity with original fans is undiminished.
Queen are a London band. Formed here, cut their teeth here, recorded their music here, played their seminal gigs here, lived, partied and in Freddie’s case, died here. Our memorable tour focuses on landmark sites and locations in the band’s history. Of all our tours, this one probably takes you through the prettiest and wealthiest of London’s neighbourhoods, and following their journey from college kids to ascending rock royalty’s throne. Fittingly, this takes us past a lot of London’s real royal sites like Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace.
You’ll see the university where the band was formed; the two studios where they most recorded; band member’s homes, including the house in Kensington where Freddie lived and died; their favourite pub where Freddie first met Brian and Roger; and visit famed gigs sites like ‘The Pheasantry’ on Kings Road, Hyde Park and The Royal Albert Hall. You‘ll also see locations where some of the great videos were shot and see the site of the last ever Queen performance.
This memorable day can have the perfect end by attending a performance of ‘We Will Rock You’ at London’s Dominion Theatre, where you’ll also discover a great Queen photographic exhibition.
Throughout our half-day tour we make full use of music, listening to historic performances. And with an expert Queen guide to accompany you throughout, you can expect a memorable experience of historical information and fun!

Wanna Rock ON in the Capital? Combine this special tour with the other regular rock London tours Summer of Love morning tour, the afternoon Classic Rock & Beatles tour or both for a Full Day ‘Monsters of Rock’ tour!
London is Calling You! Depending on your age, this is either a chance to wallow in glorious nostalgia, or grab an 'education' in Rock myths and history. Have those lyrics come alive and make the London connection. This fantastic day combines both our morning tour one and afternoon tour two. Not only a memorable day for the rock fan but for anybody who wants to see more of London than simply the main central tourist attractions. This tour gets you to places not normally seen by regular tourists and there’s lots of photograph! All our tours are accompanied by a knowledgeable driver/guide who knows the city’s history as well as the more specific rock history so you get two tours in one!
It’s only rock & roll but we like it!
