Rockin’ North London

Soho, Camden, Highgate, Hampstead, Primrose Hill

More Kinks, Beatles & Stones sites than you can strum a guitar to! Album cover photos...rock star homes (past and present)...studios where the magic happened...venues that gave us the first glimpses of U2, Pink Floyd, Oasis, Blur, Madness, Sting & the Police, Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, the Doors, Clapton, Clash, Sex Pistols and more...too many to mention!

The Roundhouse, Camden

This tour covers Rock landmarks in bohemian Soho and the north London neighbourhoods of Camden Town, Hampstead Village and Heath, Highgate, Muswell Hill, Archway and Primrose Hill. You'll see Macca's Golden Disc covered office and the flat where he wrote 'Yesterday'...

Then there's the market mecca of Camden Town - home to Madness, Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse amongst dozens more - Chalk Farm, the famed 'Tin Pan Alley', the Kinks' Muswell Hill 'shrine', and Rod Stewart's family home and school. See where the Floyd's cut 'The Wall'. We'll pass Boy George, George Michael and Sting's homes. See where Jimmy Page cut his first disc, where Joe Meek killed his landlady and where The Clash cut 'London Calling'.

Gig sites and clubs include the legendary Klooks Kleek, the Rainbow, Marquee, 100 Club, Roxy, Ronnie Scotts, Roundhouse and Hope and Anchor. AND...other sites covered on this fantabulous tour relate to the AC/DC, Bonzo Dog Doh Dah Band, Graham Bond, Elton John, The Clash, Fairport Convention, Alexis Corner, Ginger Baker, Bob Dylan, Eurythmics, Libertines, Iron Maiden...

Note: this tour does NOT go to Abbey Road. You need our afternoon tour for that site.

PRICES:$55 USD per adult; $45 USD per child (A child is defined as aged 11 and under.)

Departures:Tuesdays & Sundays 09.30 AM from the original Hard Rock Cafe, Old Park Lane (nearest underground station 'Hyde Park Corner'.)

This tour operates May - October only.

Make it a full Rock & Roll London Day by combining our London Rock Legends tour with our Rockin’ North London tour!

Link up our original London Rock Legends tour with the Rockin’ North London for a full day option which includes both tours PLUS time for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe!

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 is a combination of both the morning and afternoon tours with time in the middle to eat or have a beer at the Hard Rock Café and visit its legendary memorabilia vault.

Saturdays this summer...join The London Delta Rock tour

Who knew the suburbs could be so cool!

This is a full day adventure to some outer London neighborhoods and the county of Surrey (Ealing, Eel Pie Island, Richmond, Twickenham,) London's answer to the Mississippi Delta - the place where our electric British blues was born!

Visit several famed clubs with their Stones and Clapton connections amongst others; see the 'Help' Beatle homes at Twickenham, the setting for the 'Paperback Writer' promotional film; then there are the places that ‘gave birth’ to The Who, the Sex Pistols, Yardbirds and where Marc Bolan met his untimely death...and much, much more. In addition to all of the rock sites, you’ll pass through the beautiful Thames Valley, past gorgeous gardens and stately homes. A great day out!

Celebrate that Special Event with Us and the Hard Rock Cafe London!

Ever wanted to 'play' Hendrix's Gibson flying V? Or maybe give it as a present to the one you love but can't afford the million bucks price tag? Well here's how you do it...

Book The London Beatles and Rock 'n' Roll Legends Tour as a private party booking.

We can operate at a time of your choosing - morning, afternoon or even evening (May, June, July, August only for evenings) combine this with a special meal at the Hard Rock Cafe and we'll climax the occasion by taking your group for an exclusive Hard Rock Vault tour where the celebrant can not only look but hold and (best of all) have their photograph taken 'playing' a priceless guitar that they have on display there. Celebrate that special event, milestone birthday or anniversary as a Rock Star!

You can book the complete bus and combine this with a special group menu at the Hard Rock Cafe as well as that special and exclusive photo opportunity. Special prices for groups of 10 or more. Please contact us for further details.

Attention Hard Rock Cafe fans, London's Original & Greatest Beatles & Rock legends tour (i.e. this one!) has teamed up with London's Hard Rock Cafe (the original, no less!) to offer Hard Rock Cafe affiliates a discount on our tour. Check the HRC site below for further details.

Also, we're pleased to announce another great joint rock-tie up with the Hard Rock Cafe. If you're booking onto our tour, you also get a free entry to the famed HRC London vault for a pre-tour tour! Check out The Vault - London.

If you want to see Lennon's 'army' shirt, Kurt Cobain's glass and, perhaps, best of all, Jimi Hendrix's flying V then you can't miss the vault!

As our tour leaves from outside the Hard Rock Cafe, Piccadilly (nearest underground 'Hyde Park Corner'), it makes sense to see the vault before joining us. And, if you're hungry what better place to eat that the Hard Rock Cafe? Ask for their special 'Beatles Tour Menu'. It's a specially discounted one for folks joining our Rock Legends tour.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want...or can you?!

We can also arrange a special private tour focusing on your favorite band, a 'dedicated' Rock (half or full) day! If you have a group with a special interest - the Rolling Stones, Queen, 'Swingin Sixties' London, Hippie London, Punk Rock etc.- we can develop a London tour dedicated to this interest for you. Please contact us for details.

“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.”

*Heather Mendoza, Custom Clash/Joe Strummer’s London Tour
