Day Coach Tour - The BIG One: Monsters of Rock!

“What a great day! I know I saw parts of London that tourists never see and the rock history was fantastic!” Hettie, Netherlands.

London Calling! Depending on your age, this is either a chance to wallow in glorious nostalgia, or grab an ‘education’ in Rock history, its legends and myths, as your informed guide takes you on a magical, musical journey. Have those lyrics come alive and make the London connection. Over 100 iconic rock sites and locations enlivened with gossip, trivia and background information! This is a combination of both the morning and afternoon tours.

MORNING - Rock Roots! This tour covers past and present Rock landmarks in bohemian Soho and the North London neighborhoods of Camden Town, Islington and St John’s Wood. Neighborhoods steeped in Mod, Hippie and Punk culture, and where tomorrow’s legends are creating today’s music! In addition to a collection of Beatles-related sites, including the Abbey Road crossing, discover locations bringing to life the colourful histories of classic, progressive, punk and Brit-Rock acts.

AFTERNOON - We call this our Classic Rock legends tour because it covers sites and locations relevant to the history of so many 60s, 70s and 80s artists in the elite neighborhoods of Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill Gate, St John’s Wood. Tour the sites that made the Sixties swing; where London’s hippie underground ‘counter-culture’ took off; and where the 70s punk revolution took place!
