Morning tour
It hardly seems credible but the Rolling Stones have been one the world’s greatest rock’n’roll bands for over 50 years. And, as every true fan knows, the Jagger and Richards partnership began on the railway platform at their home town of Dartford. On this tour we discover the earliest roots of the band members and follow them through the early years.

You’ll see the birthplace and family homes of both Jagger and Richards; you’ll see the primary school they attended together and also their secondary schools (including the Mick Jagger Centre); you’ll see where they formed with their first band and you’ll visit locations associated with early band member, Dick Taylor. The undoubted highlight of your morning will be replaying that famed meeting on Dartford station platform when the two young men recognised a kindred soul in each other and set out on their 50 year adventure!

Whether you’re a long-time follower, or newly come to the band and want to know and understand their history and tradition, this is the tour for you!

There are London Beatle tours and there’s THE London Beatle tour. This is it. Don’t be fooled; you can’t see Beatles London on a walking tour, not unless you want to walk 30 miles! The only way to follow this long and winding road is by mini-coach.

Beatle fans don’t often realize that many of the iconic sites they associate with the Fab Four are in London and its surroundings, not Liverpool. After all, the ‘Mop tops’ enjoyed their greatest successes after they’d moved south. The Abbey Road Studios and crossing (‘crosswalk’), the final roof top performance, the Ed Sullivan Show video, the film locations for ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, ‘Help’, and ‘The Magical Mystery Tour’, Apple Corp. headquarters, and the Apple Boutique; they are all in London.

One of the Beatles favourite clubsThey played important gigs throughout the city; from their first Soho club performance through the Christmas and fans shows at the Astoria and Hammersmith Odeon, to the Royal Variety Performances at the Palladium and Prince of Wales Theatre.

They recorded here; not just at EMI’s Abbey Road, but at Trident and George Martin’s Air Studios. They had many of their most iconic and recognizable press and PR photographs taken throughout the city.

The individual Beatles all lived in London, of course, so there are the homes and offices owned by the band members and their management. And they partied, met their girlfriends and wives at the city’s clubs and art galleries.

On this tour you follow the Beatles history in London, from the first hotels they stayed at, to Macca’s current offices and home. You’ll see over 100 iconic sites and truly walk in the Fab Four’s footsteps in the company of a specialist guide who will bring the Beatle history to life.

Most common questions:
. Do we walk across the crosswalk? YES!
. Do we see any Beatles houses? YES!
. Do we see where the final rooftop concert took place? YES!
. Can we recreate any Beatle film scenes? YES!
. Can we see where the ‘Rain/Paperback Writer’ film was shot? YES!
. Do we see the famous four doors from ‘Help’? YES
. Do we see where John met Yoko, and Paul met Linda? YES!
. Do we see where Brian Epstein lived and died? YES!
. Do we see the Apple Corp. buildings? YES!
. Do we have time to stop and take photos? YES!
. Do we see more on this tour than on any other Beatle tour? YES! YES! YES!

'Walls, Moons and Flying Pigs'... Pink Floyd were a band of two cities - the ancient, medieval university city of Cambridge, and the UK’s capital of London. Band members Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and David Gilmour were raised in Cambridge, and many of their Cambridge friends, including girlfriends, roadies and album cover designers Storm Thorgerson and ‘Po’ Powell, became part of the Pink Floyd extended creative family. In London they met up with Nick Mason and Rick Wright, while students, and here they forged the unique Pink Floyd sound against the backdrop of the late ‘60’s counter-culture and succeeding decades.

Battersea Power StationThis great tour combines the two and gives you a chance to see one of England’s most attractive and historic cities and parts of London you’d otherwise not see, while exploring the Floyd’s heritage. In Cambridge you’ll see the early homes of Gilmour, Waters and Barrett, their schools and colleges, early gig sites and important reference points like ‘Granchester Meadows’ and Syd’s last home. You’ll also be getting a guided tour of the historic city and university! Then to London where, this afternoon, in neighbourhood such as Notting Hill Gate, Islington, Hampstead and Highgate, you’ll see such sites as the Floyd’s own Britannia Row studios, the school that provided the schoolkids choir on ‘The Wall’, the Regents Street Polytechnic where the band was formed, various band member’s London homes, the famed ‘Animals’ front cover location, ‘Ally Pally’ and UFO club sites, and Abbey Road recording studios!

During the day you get the full history of the band from your knowledgeable rock guide and, of course, a day listening to rare, obscure and well-known Floyd music.
