The London Delta

Celebrate the Birth of British Electric Blues...

Ealing, Richmond, Twickenham, Surrey and more

Who knew the Suburbs could be so cool!

With so much to see outside London's main city centre, it's easy to enjoy a suburban tour of rock 'n' roll sites. Visit the famed clubs of Richmond, Eel Pie Island and Ealing (with their Stones and Clapton connections amongst others). See the 'Help' Beatle homes at Twickenham, and setting for the 'Paperback Writer' promotional film. Then there are the places that ‘gave birth’ to The Who, the Sex Pistols...and much, much more.

RIP Marc Bolan

This tour covers some outer London neighbourhoods and county of Surrey, London's answer to the Mississippi Delta - the place where our electric British blues was born!

Climb aboard the Magic Bus, fans of the Who, Stones, Beatles, Marc Bolan, Yardbirds and Queen! We'll see where the Who started, their homes, their first gig sites, centres of Mod culture and where they practiced performing 'Tommy' (in Charlie Chaplin's old home!)

You'll visit the art college attended by Pete Townsend, Art Wood and Freddie Mercury. Beatles fans, you're put in the picture!

We visit the location of Ed Sullivan Show's legendary 'Paperback Writer' shoot, you see a dozen instantly recognizable locations from 'Hard Day's Night' and 'Help!'.

We'll lunch (cost of food & drink is not included) in the pub featured in the first film, see the famous 'four doors' from the second and follow Ringo's footsteps along the Thames.

Stones fans, 'get yer yaya's out'! We're visiting the Crawdaddy Club and the fabled Ealing Blues Club, seeing Jagger's Richmond home location, where Mick's dad taught and where Charlie Watts regularly plays drums. These suburbs also produced the Yardbirds and saw a young Eric Clapton learn his trade at Eel Pie Island.

You'll also see where Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott lived and died, and where Glam Rocker Marc Bolan met an untimely death.

Then there's Roger Gilmore's houseboat studio, the famous Ealing and Twickenham film studios, and coming up to date, we'll see where Jamiroquai and the Magic Numbers were street buskers.

Altogether this is a great day, taking you into the gardens of Stately Homes, historic and pretty Thames side villages and to see a wide variety of sites to interest both the hard core classic rock fan and their possibly long suffering partner!
