About this activity

Explore London’s West End with me your 100% five star, music obsessed guide. I won’t just show you the sights; I’ll take you on my personal tour of Soho’s rock ’n’ roll soul, packed with energy, laughter and insider stories you won’t find on any plaque.

We’ll visit the doorway where Paul met Linda, the club where Hendrix made his official UK debut and silenced Britain’s guitar gods and the building where Jagger and Richards auditioned for the Stones. Stand where Bowie became Ziggy, and where Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis tore up early London stages.

See the former Sex Pistols home, and recreate the Oasis "Morning Glory" cover. We’ll stop by the studios that birthed Bowie’s Space Oddity, Elton’s “Your Song,” The Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” and George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord.”

We’ll even uncover the venue where Genesis played as Garden Wall and The Police as The Aces in 82.

Bring your sense of fun, every stop has a story, every corner has a secret and I’ll share them all with you.

Itinerary

Soho

2 hours

Explore on foot with me London's West End with its rich musical heritage.

London as a capital city witnessed the birth and rise of many world leading bands and artists. The Who, Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Yardbirds, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Sex Pistols, Elton John, Rod Stewart, David Bowie and too many more to mention.

It was also the home of the swinging 60’s Mods, Skinheads, Punks and New Romantics. Carnaby Street in particular has and always will be the epicentre of culture and lifestyle in London’s West End.

Be introduced to vintage vinyl popular record stores, famous musical clubs, trendy and iconic fashion clothing stores and view commemorative blue plaques of legendary and past global music stars.

So if music is your thing come and walk the streets of Soho in London’s West end with me. Be sure to have your camera to hand. Your pictures will last as a fitting story of your personal journey through the best music capital city in the world.
