"Thank you. This was an excellent day which exceeded my expectations. The rock sites just added to a generally pretty and interesting region. I feel I saw some of the ‘real’ England, and I loved recreating those Beatle films!"  John Foxall, USA
 

Visiting rock sites is a great way to see parts of London and its environs that you'd otherwise never know existed. And they are some of the prettiest parts! You don't have to be a rock fan to enjoy this day as there's something for everyone.

This fantastic full-day tour is a must for fans of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, Deep Purple, Queen, Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Marc Bolan, Clapton, Page, Thin Lizzy, the legendary Yardbirds and many, many more.

Just a short ride to the west of London lie some of the city’s prettiest neighbourhoods, sitting beside the rolling river Thames. Here we find the cradle of British rock ‘n’ roll and the locations used for dozens of rock videos, including all of the Beatle films and videos. As we take our ticket to ride through Ealing, Richmond, Twickenham, Barnes, Shepherds Bush, we visit near legendary sites where British Rock was nurtured; the Ealing Blues Club (southern versions of Liverpool’s Cavern Club); Richmond’s ‘Crawdaddy Club’, birthplace of the Stones; Eel Pie Island, where amongst others a young Eric Clapton learned his trade; and the Who’s ‘Mod’ club, ‘The Goldhawk’. We include lots of present and past stars’ homes, including those of Jagger, Townsend, members of Queen, and Deep Purple’s original communal house.Music Legends of Eel Pie IslandYou’ll visit famed recording studios and rehearsal rooms (including where ‘Deep Purple in Rock’ and ‘Tommy’ were rehearsed) and see where Marshall amps originated. We’ll visit the shrine to Marc Bolan beside the tree that took his life. Throughout our day we make full use of our DVD playing facilities to help recreate some famous scenes and be reminded of historic performances. Beatle fans will enjoy putting themselves in the picture at the historic home and gardens where the Fab Four shot the Paperback Writer/ Rain video (used on the Ed Sullivan show), where Ringo walked  along the banks of the river Thames in ‘Hard Day’s Night’, and where the lads entered the famed, four front doors from ‘Help’.  In all, we include approaching 100 top rock sites and, of course, fill you in on the history of the bands!

Long-suffering partners who are ‘dragged along’ will also enjoy their day, seeing some marvelous riverside locations, and even a famed historic house! Unlike the Stones we guarantee you’ll get satisfaction! Reservations reservations@londonrocktour.com
