Discover Who Started Here!

'What a tour! Fantastic! Undoubtedly, the best thing I did in London. I loved the unusual views of London'. Jenny, Australia

‘Brilliant, just brilliant! This tour brought my entire music collection to life! I’ll be back to do it again as I simply couldn’t take it all in over just the one day!’ Pete, Seattle.

More Kinks, Beatles & Stones sites than you can strum a guitar to! Album cover photos...rock star homes...studios where the magic happened...venues that gave us the first glimpses of bands...

Visiting the London neighbourhoods of Soho, Camden, Hampstead, Muswell Hill, Highgate and Islington, our morning tour takes you back to the late 60s and particularly the ‘Summer of Love’.

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 Islington. An undoubted highlight is 'Ally Pally' (Alexandra Palace) from where you'll get an unbeatable view of London's skyline.

See Macca's Golden Disc covered office and the flat where he wrote 'Yesterday', Ringo's Hampstead house, and the only flat shared by all Fab Four. And, naturally, you'll also get to walk across the famed 'Abbey Road' crossing.

Then, there's Madness' Camden Town and 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 UFO, Klooks Kleek, the Rainbow, Marquee, 100 Club, Roxy, Ronnie Scotts, Roundhouse and Hope and Anchor.

Other sites covered on this fantabulous tour relate to the Police, Rod Stewart, Bonzo Dog Doh Dah Band, Graham Bond, Elton John, The Clash, Alexis Corner, Ginger Baker, Fairport Convention, Bob Dylan, Eurythmics, and more modern icons such as Amy Winehouse and Coldplay.

Wanna Rock and Roll All Day? Combine this morning Summer of Love tour with the afternoon Classic Rock & Beatles tour 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!

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

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 one of these fantastic Rock Tours 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.
