What Can I Expect

London rocks on this rock and roll London tour! A two-hour walking tour in and around Soho to visit the very beating heart of the British music industry. If you love any genre of music, you will be in complete harmony with this guided tour!

Ronnie Scotts. The Marquee Club. Tin Pan Alley. Wardour Street. All these places are pivotal in the history of music in London. From the swinging 60s, to the New Romantics of the 80s, with punk, jazz, ska and rock n roll in between, this area of London has seen it all.

A walking tour around Soho allows you to discover (or remember!) popular culture and music through those decades. Reminisce about flower power fashion and music along Carnaby Street. And who could forget those early days of rock and roll cool with the Rolling Stones? Then there were the intense, sweaty punk band pub gigs in the 70s. Soho was where it was all happening!

Your guided walking tour to discover London's most rock and roll locations starts at Tottenham Court Road station, just a stroll from ‘Tin Pan Alley'. Back in the day, this street was filled with music shops and gig venues and brimming with talent. Behind innocuous doors you would find recording studios where legendary multi-platinum albums were made.

And we have to say, this tour is full of fascinating facts and anecdotes. Your host really knows their stuff when it comes to music. You'll see small pub venues that launched massive rock and roll careers, visit the likes of Hanks and Regents Sounds where the sound of guitar riffs still rings out - and lots more besides.
