London in the Swinging 60s - Private Tour
Overview
Hop onboard our groovy psychedelic 'Magic Bus' and travel back to the sites and sounds of Swinging London. Cruise the Kings Road, Chelsea and discover the era-defining locations like *Mary Quant’s ‘Bazaar’ where the mini-skirt was created, John Crittle’s ‘Dandie Fashions’ and ‘Granny Takes A Trip’ - London’s first psychedelic boutique. You’ll see where 60s music legends lived and still live today. Visit the celebrated Troubadour - a music heritage shrine, unchanged from when Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix and many others played there. There’s also a stop outside the iconic Royal Albert Hall for a must-have photo opportunity.
