London Classic Rock and Beatles Tour

Step into the heart of London’s music history with the London Classic Rock and Beatles Tour. A journey through the neighbourhoods that shaped the sounds of the 60s, 70s and 80s. From Chelsea to Kensington, Notting Hill to St. John’s Wood. You’ll explore the streets, studios, pubs and hotspots that inspired some of the world’s biggest artists. You’ll hear the stories behind the legends. See the places where rock revolutions began, and discover the hidden locations where iconic music moments unfolded.

Led by an expert Rock Tour Guide, this panoramic coach experience blends fan-favourite photo stops with insider storytelling. You’ll explore the roots of counter-culture, the rise of punk.
