Classic Rock and Beatles London

“I dreamed for 30 years of walking across Abbey Road. It was amazing but I never expected to see all this other stuff. Your guide was so knowledgeable and a great entertainer. It was nearly 4 hours of pure magic!” Peter Jennings, Canada

Afternoon Tour

We call this our Classic Rock Legends tour because it covers sites and locations relevant to the history of so many 60s, 70s and 80s artists in the elite neighbourhoods of Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill Gate and St John's Wood. Tour the sites that made the Sixties swing, where London's hippie underground counter-culture took off, and where the 70s punk revolution took place. See the boutiques, pubs and clubs that inspired hundreds of well-known lyrics and melodies!

Yes, you do get to walk across the famous Abbey Road crossing!

This is the original London Rock Tour. If classic rock acts such as Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Bob Marley, Queen and the Rolling Stones are your favourites, this is the tour for you. We also cover where Geldof conceived Band Aid and Live Aid, how the Sex Pistols was formed, the Clash's neighbourhood, and the cradle of Reggae. We pass the homes of Freddie Mercury, Jimmy Page, McCartney and Clapton, and see where Jimi Hendrix died.
