About this 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. Tour sites that made the Sixties swing; where London’s hippie underground ‘counter-culture’ took off; where the 70s punk revolution took place. See the boutiques, pubs, clubs that MADE these decades, inspiring hundreds of well-known lyrics and melodies!

Get to neighbourhoods of London that the locals love and that most tourists miss!

BELGRAVIA & CHELSEA: The Kings Rd was the heart of Swingin’ 60s London, chock full of music, art and fashion heritage! See places of Beatles, Stones, Eric Clapton & Cream, early Pink Floyd, Marianne Faithfull, Pete Townsend and a legendary wedding location. See the inspiration of London Calling and where punk was ‘born.’ See Beatles’ homes, former offices, gig sites and where the St Pepper’s cover was shot. An abundance of legendary Stones locations here too!

KENSINGTON: The heart of Queen and Freddie Mercury, Biba fashion and a comfort stop at Bill Wyman’s Sticky Fingers restaurant

HOLLAND PARK/NOTTING HILL: Attention Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix fans, this is for you!
