London Calling! Depending on your age, this is either a chance to wallow in glorious nostalgia, grab an 'education' in Rock myths and history, or see where tomorrow’s legends are being created today.
The morning portion covers Rock landmarks in bohemian Soho and the north London neighbourhoods such as Camden Town, Hampstead and Muswell Hill. Beatles will see Macca's Golden Disc covered office and the flat where he wrote 'Yesterday', Ringo's Hampstead house, and the only flat shared by all Fab Four. There's Brit Pop’s Camden Town, the famed 'Tin Pan Alley' of Soho, the Kinks' Muswell Hill 'shrine', and Rod Stewart's family home and school. See early Pink Floyd sites and where they cut 'The Wall'. See where Jimmy Page cut his first disc, where Joe Meek killed his landlady, and where Hendrix burned his first guitar. Gig sites and clubs include the legendary UFO, the Rainbow, Marquee, 100 Club, Ronnie Scotts, Roundhouse and Hope and Anchor.
The Afternoon section of the tour covers sites that made the 'Sixties' swing! See the boutiques, pubs and clubs that made a decade and inspired hundreds of well-known lyrics in such neighbourhoods as Chelsea, Notting Hill Gate, St John's Wood and the West End. For Beatle fans, there's Brian Epstein's flat, Ringo's Kings Road apartment, John and Yoko's first home, Paul's current London home, the studio where the St Pepper's cover was shot, Apple Office and boutique, EMI and rooftop where the 'Mop Tops' the played their last ever live gig. And, YES, you do get to walk across that famed ABBEY ROAD crossing!
