Summer of Love – the psychedelic connection

Central and North London Rock Sites

Discover Who Started Here!

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...Kinks, Pink Floyd, U2, Oasis, Blur, Madness, Sting & the Police, Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, the Doors, Clapton, Clash, Sex Pistols and more...too many to mention!

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’.

Sites include the Soho underground clubs and studios such as the UFO and Marquee, the famed Camden Roundhouse, the ‘14 Hour Technicolour Dream’ site, early Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Kinks and Beatle sites, including Paul’s and Ringo’s homes and offices.

Amongst many highlights, you’ll see where Hendrix first burned his guitar and where the Beatles entertained their fan club at Christmas, the only place the Doors played in the UK, where Bill Haley and The Comets made rock history, ‘Tin Pan Alley’, and Joe Meek’s studio (where Jimmy page cut his first record.)

Other legendry names featured include Rod Stewart, The Clash, Madness, Oasis, Boy George, and contemporary acts such as Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse.

This tour takes you through some of London’s most historic neighbourhoods and you get great views of the city from surrounding hill-top vantage points!

Note: this tour does NOT go to Abbey Road. You need our afternoon Classic Rock and Beatles tour or full day Monsters of Rock for that site.

Departure time: 09.00      Return Time: approx 12.30

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
