Top London Music Tours

We were so lucky to have Ian as our tour guide! He is a gifted storyteller and has a great sense of humor which made this tour thoroughly enjoyable. Ian knows everything there is to know about the English rock scene! He shared interesting stories about all of our favorite musicians and kept us totally engaged throughout the entire tour. He was also generous with his time by making certain each guest got their special Abbey Road crossing photo. I highly recommend this tour only if Ian will be your guide. He’s the absolute best!

I spent nine hours with Aidan! I did the original two hour SOHO Punk tour THEN spent the day with him in Ladbroke and Camden on a Clash pilgrimage. My heart was full and I was whooped, but nothing a little rest didn't cure. This man knows his stuff. If you aren't familiar with him, look him up. From managing bands to having a current radio show, he has been around and walked the walk. He is not for the timid- he speaks his mind, is expressive and the real deal. He is quite passionate about the Sex Pistols and The Clash, but he was sure to talk about many other punk and post-punk bands and performers who played in these areas. He walked us through the very busy streets, passed many now closed spaces, shared the stories of his childhood and what it was like to be a teenager in the time of the Pistols as well as how they became what and who they were with some very influential behind-the-scene influences. From the attire to the personas, it was a lived experience for him. If there are particular people you want to learn about, such as Bauhaus or Bowie, Siouxsie or Billy Idol- he has a story and a space to share. When it came to The Clash (Ladbroke and Camden areas), wow- this tour was amazing! From Strummer's first home he purchased with royalties, to where he squatted as an up and coming musician, where the 101ers played, where White Riot occurred, to the stairs where they debut album was shot and SO MUCH MORE. We even went to the pharmacy where the video for House of Fun by Madness was filmed. Camden is full of historic concert venues and memories, and crowded AF. But, there is a great record Punk store there with very reasonable tees called All Ages Records. Post-tour, he sends more information and history for you to reference your tour. It is well worth your time and money if you want to learn about the true Brit punk scene. It was also 80 degrees, which is not hot for me, but it was humid. Bring your water and be ready to navigate the crowds.

Dave is an excellent guide—very knowledgeable but easygoing with a great sense of humor. He made us feel like friends. He also graciously checked with us to make sure we covered all the sites we wished to see. It was great touring around town in our private black cab, which was clean and comfortable. Just a super day!
