What you'll do
Crank the volume up to eleven and walk the streets where rock and roll history was made.
This private tour takes you deep into Soho, London's home of music, mischief and reinvention, with a guide dedicated entirely to your group for the full two hours.
You will pass the clubs and bars where legendary musicians performed, the roads where Swinging Sixties fashion exploded onto the world stage, and the pubs and studios where counterculture thrived. This is about more than music. Soho has been a playground for great writers, inventors, revolutionaries and even royalty, and your guide will share as many of these stories as you have time for.
Because there is so much ground to cover, every private tour is a little different, but you can expect to see the London Palladium, Carnaby Street, Trident Studios, Liberty London, the Bag o' Nails and the John Snow Pub along the way, along with plenty of hidden stories in between.
This private tour is ideal for music lovers, pop culture fans, history buffs and anyone who wants a livelier side of London without sharing their guide with strangers.
