Overview

In this tour I will take you on an incredible journey around London's unique Rock and Roll history. From the Beatles to the Stones, from Queen to Ziggy Stardust. We will see some of the locations where legendary rock groups played their first concerts and where one rock legend began his final journey to the Great Gig in the Sky.
I will show you where the Sex Pistols played their first and the Beatles their last Concert. We will also visit Denmark Street, London's 'Tin Pan Alley' We will see where the Rolling Stones used egg boxes for soundproofing. We will see where Heavy Metal was invented. We will see where Reginald Dwight aka Elton John worked in a post room for £4 a week. I will take you to Carnaby Street, where the dedicated followers of fashion bought their clothes. We will see where Ziggy Stardust rose and fell to earth. I will show you where Beatle Mania was introduced to the world and where Pink Floyd first met and where Jimi Hendrix jammed with Cream.
