Your Itinerary

Abbey Road Studios

Have your photo taken on the world famous pedestrian crossing from the exact spot where the original photograph was taken for the Abbey Road cover shot. This means that your shot will look exactly the same as the album cover!! With the help of some incredible visual aids hear all the amazing stories surrounding this incredible studio and the part it played in the history of the worlds greatest rock band. Unfortunately there is no access to the studios however we will visit the Abbey Road Studios gift shop that sells a selection of fantastic official Beatles merchandise.

Chelsea

The Apartment where it all began. Visit the apartment where the Rolling Stones lived for 18 months ( 1962/63 ) at the start of their amazing career. With the aid of some incredible photographs I will show you that this apartment has hardly changed since Mick, Keith and Brian lived there nearly 60 years ago. Please note there is no access to the property,

Kensington High Street

Visit the house where Freddie Mercury spent the last 5 years of his life. Hear how he left his home and fortune to the only person he loved. Discover the twist in the tale that leaves so many unanswered questions. Please note there is no access to the property.

Holland Park

The Tower House Holland Park is the current home of Jimmy Page. Visit his amazing Gothic home and with the help of some incredible visual aids hear how Jimmy has painstakingly restored this Victorian Gothic masterpiece. Please note that Jimmy spends a lot of time at this property. I have met him on a few occasions outside his house and he trusts me not to disturb his privacy. There is no access to the property and we need to be respectful if he or his partner, family or friends should enter or exit the building.

Notting Hill

The Death Of Hendrix. Visit the apartment where on 18th September 1970 Jimi Hendrix drew his last breath. Was it an Accident ? Was it Suicide ? Or was he murdered ? You will hear all the evidence and then you can make your own mind up. Please note there is no access to the building

Piccadilly Circus

The Beatles last ever performance from the roof of The Apple Corporation HQ, 3 Saville Row, London W1. See where The Beatles played live for the very last time on the roof of their Apple Corporations HQ in the heart of London's West End. With the help of some fantastic visual aids hear how John Lennon waved goodbye to the band "Thanks for coming and I hope we passed the audition". This building is now an Abercrombie & Fitch store so there is access to the building but not the roof.

Regent Street

Where Ziggy played Guitar! See where David Bowie stood for the album cover shot of Ziggy Stardust. Since his death in 2016 this has become a shrine for Bowie fans from all over the world to pay their respects to the "Thin White Duke." There is an extra special surprise at this landmark which will amaze all Bowie fans.

Wardour Street

Trident Studios. Stand outside the legendary Trident Studios and feel the atmosphere created by a building that has produced many of the world's greatest recordings. It takes a considerable amount of time to recite all the amazing records that have been recorded here. From Major Tom to The Yellow Brick Road its a roll call you simply won't believe!

Soho
