All aboard the magic bus to see where rock legends have played and died in London, the greatest rock 'n' roll city in the world! On this small group numbers are limited to a maximum of 16 people, ensuring you'll receive personalized attention from your knowledgeable guide. This tour by minivan will visit London's famous clubs, rock hotels, record labels, management offices and studios.
You'll see the house where Jimi Hendrix lived and died, where Freddie Mercury and Queen hung out, and Led Zeppelin's London HQ plus many more. The real fun of this tour is hearing inside stories from your informed and knowledgeable rock guide.
You will also see sites connected with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Cream, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, the Clash, Coldplay, Oasis, Mama Cass, Georgie Fame, Elton John, Jimmy Page and the Yardbirds, Cliff Richards, the Sex Pistols, Bowie, the Faces, Bee Gees, the Who and many, many more! Plus, there's a visit to Sticky Fingers restaurant, owned by Bill Wyman, former Stones bass player.
The rock legends tour also focuses on the most important Beatles sites, including homes belonging to Paul and Ringo, Apple HQ, EMI Studios and Abbey Road, where you can have your photograph taken on the famed zebra crossing.
This tour takes you where other walking tours don't venture! It's a great way to see parts of London you wouldn't normally visit, including Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, St. John's Wood and Soho!
Tour route is subject to change without notice due to weather or traffic conditions.
Our guide Ian was very well informed of the rock legends. Saw all the landmarks I only pictured in photos and film. Very well worth it!

Second time we did this exact tour. That should say it all !! This time with family and friends. Informative about the Rock Legends, where they lived, where they hung out, and the highlight if you are a Beatle fan crossing Abbey Road! Highly recommend this tour

Well, where do I begin. First off, Lee was the best of the best. His knowledge of rock and roll was amazing. From the start he was energized and ready to go. We listened to music while Lee told us the history or rock and roll in London. From one stop to the next the information continued to pour from Lee. But..... then potential disaster as our van gave out on us. We were headed towards the one stop that I wanted to see the most... Apple Studio. So we are on the side of the road while Lee calls his office and between them a plan is developed. Without hesitation Lee gave us some options and we continue our tour via the tube. Again, Lee was all over it watching out for each of us and finally he got us to Apple. A few pictures and some shopping and we were done. What could have been a terrible experience suddenly became a tour I will never forget. Lee never gave up and was determined to give us the tour we had paid for. It might have cost me a few pounds more taking the tube, but it was worth it. Again, thank you so much.

Lee was amazing! it was really fun. we were singing in van. were all laughing, i even got perfect picture while crossing abby road! thank you lee for the best experience!
Review by: Autumn C, June 2017
The tour was really fun. Our guide made a special stop at my request to see Freddy Mercury of Queen's home. My only request would have been to see more current bands since we had our kids with us. For example, George Michael, Adele, or Cold Play. The stop at Abbey Road was the best!
Review by: Barb M, June 2017

Review by: nick.koutoulas, March 2017
I'm a huge fan of 60's classic rock and the British invasion. I was really looking forward to this excursion. While I give our guide John the utmost credit for battling London's traffic, speaking, and DJing all simultaneously, I can't help but feel like this tour fell a little short for me. Make no mistake, this is not a hop on and hop off tour with exception to Abbey Road where we did park and get out. There was a brief stop at Sticky Fingers which was no more than a glorified restroom break. Traffic was unusually bad the weekday afternoon we went which didn't help. I'd also advise sitting on the left side of the van to see the majority of the sites. There were some very good insights and stories from our driver, but visually it left a bit to be desired.

This was a great tour for anyone who love the foundations of rock. Ian our guide was quite the historian on british rock. The small group make it very manageable. Meeting location easy to find. Would do this again with other family members.

Review by: Marie L, October 2016
Had such a great afternoon! Wasn't expecting the tour to be so much fun, but Colin was wonderful, very funny and knowledgeable. Loved touring around Chealsea and Kensington. We really got to see the neighbourhoods, and hear all the background stories about many different rock legends.
Review by: chrisgusty, October 2016
Bob was great -- passionate, extremely knowledgeable, informative, etc. This tour was the highlight of our trip!! You learn an unbelievable amount of rock and roll history while seeing much of London there is no chance you will otherwise see. You do not even have to love music because you learn and see so much but, if you do, you will be glad you booked!
Review by: Andrew M, August 2016
Loved this tour. It was a highlight of our time in London. Bob, our driver and guide was very well informed and offered unique insights and a great sense of humour. If you are a rock and roll fan you must take this tour.
Review by: michellebh, July 2016
Our guide was really nice and super knowledgeable about British Rock. He was great! We saw where everyone live, recorded, had fun and died. The only disappointment was that we couldn't actually go into Abbey Road. That would have been fun.
Review by: Cutes, July 2016
My husband really liked it although my kids thought it was a bit long. The tour guide had a wealth of knowledge to talk about. You just really have to be into the subject to appreciate all he had to say.
Review by: Michael M, June 2016
Steve was our guide and he did a great job. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in hearing interesting stories of London's rock and rollers.

Review by: Gia, November 2015
I love the beatles so having the chance to walk on abbey road was a dream come true! also do not take this tour if you are not a rock band officionato!
Review by: Charlene L, October 2015
Rock Tour ROCKS_br/_ My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tour, worth every penny!! _br/_ Bob, our rock and roll guru host entertained us with his amazing facts and stories of London's rock and roll elite. His miraculous ability to recite rock and roll lore about the likes of The Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Queen, The Clash, Bowie and Uriah Heep while orchestrating through London traffic was absolutely remarkable. _br/_ Visits to Jimmy Page/ Paul McCartney doorstep's, the infamous Abby Road crosswalk/studio, Hendrix's final party spot and a quick beer or two at Bill Wyman's Sticky Finger pub just to name a few added to our remarkable experience. _br/_ And listening to Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street, while cruising down Baker Street..............PRICELESS!!!
Review by: Jennifer R, October 2015
BEST Rock Legends Tour!! Steve was fantastic, knows his stuff and a great guide!! Open to explore whichever places we wanted to see and wouldn't be covering! The music while driving was awesome. Finally got to cruise around with like minded people listening to my favourite music on loud, singing, sharing info and being in awe of the memories and history. It sounds simple however coming from a different younger era, I've never had the opportunity to experience this with friends. Finally felt at home, put simply, DREAM COME TRUE. Interesting info at nearly every turn, as expected in such a musically historical place like London! Those who are mobility challenged and can't walk far, this is the tour for you!! You even get to do THE Abbey Road crossing... stuff only dreams are made of...! My only request would be time to take more photos at each important place, even from inside the Van, but that being said I honestly couldn't be happier with the Tour! The only thing I would do differently is to do the Tour at the start of my trip so I could revisit and/or acknowledge more places that I didn't realise, throughout my London stay... would then do the Tour again at the end to recap! Loved it!!
Review by: Aphrodite, October 2015
Tour guide was awesome on this tour - he really knew his stuff and seemed to know the address of every famous person in London lol! Was brilliant seeing where Freddie Mercury lived and walking across Abbey road - once in a lifetime moments! If you are massively into music or only a little bit, still do this tour. You won't regret it.
Review by: brendaxel, October 2015
We all had a great time. The guide was very knowledgeable and the small group setting worked well. The trip to Abbey Road and the Sticky Fingers Bar were probably the highlights.
Review by: Suzanne A, October 2015
This was a very fun way to see many London neighborhoods and hear about the rock legends as well as other London tidbits in an afternoon. Ian, our guide, and driver told many stories about the dwellings, studios and events of rockers. Ian is a rock fan and his enthusiasm to share his knowledge came thru making the tour all the more enjoyable. We hopped off a couple times to see a bit of hidden London and of course cross Abbey Rd. We stopped at Royal Albert Hall for a small break and to take in this magnificent building. For me this was a fun afternoon.

Great guide and OK tour. Some of the information was repeititive and lots of driving in heavy London traffic though. Not sure I would do it again.
Review by: Alison R, September 2015
Bob was a great tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Review by: Brad N, September 2015
A fantastic way to see London and reminisce about the early days of rock and roll. Our guide was fun, passionate, and knowledgable about music. The van was comfortable and nimble, and the tunes were great! I'd recommend doing this early in your trip so you have time to re-visit some of the places you'll see.
Review by: Dave G, July 2015
Absolutely fabulous tour and a guide worth his weight in gold. The tour lasted 30 minutes longer than scheduled. Our guide was an endless source of information, facts and stories all delivered with great humour and panache. I thoroughly recommend this tour for any age group and even those only mildly interested in the music industry.
Review by: jamibo, May 2015
Wow! What a terrific tour for music lovers! Tour guide Bob is a musician who knows everything about the history of rock and roll in London. He shared details and local gossip so we learned a lot from a real insider! The stop at Sticky Fingers restaurant was a nice break. It was also great to see the parts of London not covered on most standard tours. We loved being able to walk on famous Abbey Road!
Review by: NEIL B, May 2015
Great fun, guide was excellent a very knowable guy and we enjoyed the tour all over London very much. Saw things we never have found on our own, very interesting. Bus was good and we got a lot of photo's. Highly recommend for all old music heads particularly those who loved the 60's and 70's.
Review by: MAGALI K, March 2015
Bruce knows tons! He was amazing. We had a super great experience. I truly recommend this tour.

Review by: Sheila D, December 2014
This was an excellent tour for anyone interested in rock . Our guide was excellent , he was so knowledgable about all the rock scene of days gone by. The small minibus was ideal for getting into back streets. One of our bests experiences in London. Well done
Review by: chooperc, December 2014
This tour was pretty neat, we saw a ton of musician's homes. We stopped at Jimmy Page's house as he was getting ready to leave for the airport. Two guys on our tour got off the van and saw Jimmy Page poking his head out the door, but he went back in and sent his driver around the back to pick him up there. Oh, well! We went to Abbey Road, which is SO hard to take a picture at. I don't know how people get great pics there unless they go at 2am. It's an actual, busy road! It was a great laugh to watch others try to get pictures though. Our guide was very knowledgable, and even had photos to pass around when talking about specific people. The only thing I would say could make it better is if we had time to order a snack at Bill Wyman's sticky fingers.
