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.

This 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.
