You won't believe how much musical talent was crammed into one small iconic street! The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John...the list goes on and on. Moving on to where Brian Epstein put on the legendary Jimi Hendrix one fateful night in 1967! Onto Soho square, see where Paul McCartneys business headquarters are. British RocknRoll began at this coffee bar which is just round the corner to arguably the most famous of London music venues, where nearly every major artist has played! Enjoy the spot where John Lennon took part in a famous comedy routine. Stand in the spot where a famous Oasis album cover was taken, then to the studio where David Bowie recorded Ziggy and where the Beatles recorded Hey Jude!
