Description
No Rock n Roll London Walking Tour would be complete without visiting Soho. This alternative and quirky corner of London has been home to the British entertainment industry for decades. Over the years it has hosted some of the most iconic recording studios, gig venues, pub hangouts, theatres, music instrument shops and more.
The tour will start off at Tin Pan Alley this street was once the hub of Britain’s music industry. Elton John, David Bowie, the Kinks, Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols and many, many more each have a story to tell about this street. For decades this was home, in some cases literally, to London’s music scene.
Naturally, the tour will take you to the venues where many Rock-Gods first cut their teeth and developed their sound. These clubs include the former Marquee Club, often dubbed the most important venue in the history of modern pop music. You’ll also pass by the world-famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, a Mecca for jazz musicians. The club’s founder, Ronnie Scott was awarded an OBE for ‘services to jazz’ and this buzzing venue is still the place to go to see rising stars in the music industry.
During the tour, you’ll find out that show business isn’t always glamorous. As Led Zeppelin found out at their first rehearsal in a hot, cramped basement rammed with amplifiers. You’ll also be shown where Mick Jagger and John Lennon spent some time behind bars.
Many locals will walk past unassuming little doors, hidden down alleys, and squeezed in between shops, unaware that some of the greatest records of all time were recorded in the studios within. Fortunately, your trusty guide will be sure to point them out to you.
'Soho has always encapsulated Rock ’n’ Roll so Carnaby Street was the perfect spot for our own store.' If Carnaby Street is good enough for the Rolling Stones, NEXT it’s good enough for us to visit on our tour. From the Swinging 60s to the New Romantics, Carnaby Street has attracted the Carnabetian Army.
Throughout the Rock n Roll London Walking Tour, you’ll be entranced by anecdotes about some of the biggest names in music including the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, T-Rex, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, the Smiths, and more …

Exceeded expectations
Faultless, honestly. Londres feels like another planet. Highly recommended.

Highlight of the trip
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. We travelled with two kids and the car seats were already fitted. They dropped us at Tin Pan Alley de Londres with no detours. If we come back to Buenos Aires, we will do it again.

Repetiría sin dudar
Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Todo el trámite fue digital, no tuvimos que imprimir nada. Ideal para tener un panorama general y después volver a lo que más te gustó. Nos encantó la zona de Bohemian Rhapsody. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.
Rachel M.
The kind of thing you still remember years later. Booking was straightforward and confirmation came through instantly. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. Photos of Bohemian Rhapsody do not do it justice. An experience worth every minute.

Es de esas cosas que uno recuerda años después. Las fotos de Londres no le hacen justicia. Excelente guía, con muchísimo conocimiento de la historia del lugar. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Ideal para conocer la ciudad
Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Londres fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. El guía Turístico Informado, Accesible y Divertido (inglés) vale por sí solo. El guía fue un capítulo aparte: sabía muchísimo y contestó todas nuestras preguntas. Es una forma muy práctica de ubicarte en la ciudad el primer día.
