To the west of London lie suburbs and small towns where British Rock was nurtured - Shepherds Bush, Richmond, Ealing, Twickenham.

This tour covers some outer London neighbourhoods and county of Surrey, London's answer to the Mississippi Delta! Electric blues was born here! Climb aboard the Magic Bus, fans of the Who, Stones, Beatles, Marc Bolan, Yardbirds and Queen! We'll see where the Who started, their homes, their first gig sites, centres of Mod culture and where they practised performing 'Tommy' (in Charlie Chaplin's old home!). You'll visit the art college attended by Pete Townsend, Art Wood and Freddie Mercury. Beatles fans; you're put in the picture! We visit the location of Ed Sullivan Show's legendary 'Paperback Writer' shoot, you see a dozen instantly recognisable locations from 'Hard Day's Night' and 'Help!'.

We'll have lunch (cost not included) in the pub featured in the first, see the famous 'four doors' from the second, and follow Ringo's footsteps along the Thames. Stones fans, 'get yer yaya's out'! We're visiting the Crawdaddy Club and the fabled Ealing Blues Club, seeing Jagger's Richmond home location, where Mick's dad taught and the pub where Charlie Watts regularly plays drums. These suburbs also produced the Yardbirds (Beck, Page and Clapton) and saw a young Eric learn his trade at Eel Pie Island. You'll also see where Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott lived and died, and where Glam Rocker Marc Bolan met an untimely death. Then there's David Gilmore's houseboat studio, the famous Ealing and Twickenham film studios, and coming up to date, we'll see where Jamiroquai and more recently, the Magic Numbers were street buskers. Altogether, this is a great day, taking you into the gardens of Stately Homes, historic and pretty Thames side villages and to see a wide variety of sites to interest both the hard core classic rock fan and the long-suffering partner!
