Rock 'n' Roll Soho - a Walking Tour
Explore Soho’s riff-filled music history on this not-to-be-missed walking tour! See where the greatest artists lived, played, partied and performed, and hear the wildest rock 'n' roll stories ever told. We'll visit the iconic pubs, exclusive clubs and world-famous recording studios that made Soho the global centre of popular music. We'll also have a lot of laughs along the way. To quote Spinal Tap, this tour is turned up to 11!
So, come along and … strut down a street where sharp suits met rock royalty; stand where a starman crash-landed (but left his arachnoid friends indoors); step into a club where legends played hard and partied even harder; strike a pose at the site of a legendary album cover (go on, unleash your inner rockstar!); pay homage to the venue that gave countless bands their big break; and, finally, end your journey where it all began—London’s Tin Pan Alley.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Savile Row
This is the first stop on the tour. It is our policy not to tell you about this or any other stop (there's about ten in total) because that takes away the surprise. It's better to think of our time together as a Magical Mystery Tour—the 'mystery' being how such a small corner of London left such a massive mark on the global music scene, and the 'magic' being the songs that were written and performed here. One thing’s for sure: you won’t be disappointed. If anything, this tour just might be the highlight of your visit to London. That’s certainly our aim!
Wardour Street
Still not going to say what happened here - but it's amazing. Rock 'n' roll!
