You’ll dive into the musical worlds of Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Small Faces, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Oasis, Pulp, Amy Winehouse — and plenty more besides. Along the way, you’ll visit the iconic pubs, exclusive clubs and world-famous recording studios that made Soho the global centre of popular music. Even Cliff Richard gets a mention!

This is the first stop on the tour. It is our policy not to tell you about this or any other stop (there's about ten in total) because that takes away the surprise. It's better to think of our time together as a Magical Mystery Tour—the 'mystery' being how such a small corner of London left such a massive mark on the global music scene, and the 'magic' being the songs that were written and performed here. One thing’s for sure: you won’t be disappointed. If anything, this tour just might be the highlight of your visit to London. That’s certainly our aim!

This is the end of the tour. And what an end! But still not going to say what happened here - but it's amazing. Rock 'n' roll! What we can say, though, is that you have just had the most amazing time and made some amazing memories. Yes, your feet might ache a little, but what a walk!
