London is the Capital City of Rock and Popular Music and you now have the opportunity of being part of it joining tours of musical discovery with them.
In no other city will you find so much rock heritage in such a concentrated area – its been a magnet for rockers from Liverpool to Los Angeles, Manchester to Melbourne, Stockholm to Sao Paulo, Dublin to Detroit and Trenchtown to Toronto.
From the 1950s to the current day, musicians, singers, producers, bands, lyricists and writers have come to London to seek, or expand their fame and fortune And in doing so, they leave a rich and growing legacy to be discovered and enjoyed: the recording studios where classic records have been made; stars homes, apartments and, alas, death sites; instantly recognisable film and video locations, and cityscapes captured forever on classic album covers; venues small and large; clubs and pubs; sites of famed drug busts; trashed hotels; management company offices; secret rehearsal sites; street names made famous through song lyrics; and boutiques and flea-markets where global fashion trends have started.
Beatniks and Teddy Boys, Mods and Hippies, Punks and Rastas, Heavy Metal and Heart Throbs; this is a city of monumental rock landmarks where hardly a street is without a rock back-story!
Evening Tour (shared) – LR4
No other London tour takes in as many sites that help piece together ‘Beatlemania’ that took grip between 1962 to 1969, and their solo years that followed. Entertaining and fun, with lots of photo stops, the tour will show you the art gallery where John met Yoko, the Scotch and St. James Club and other Beat- le drinking haunts, the flat where the fab four lived together and of course Abbey Road and the zebra crossing. A great way to spend a summer’ s evening.
