The Palladium was the venue for one of the UKs most popular television shows, ‘Sunday Night at the London Palladium’. It was here where Beatlemania really began and the Rolling Stones refused to do what everyone else did at the end of a show.

Fabulous tour, learnt things I never knew and discovered places in London I never knew existed (despite living here for years). Our tour guide Michael was extremely knowledgeable with some great stories up his sleeve. Could have spent a whole day without him running out I think!
Michael is a fountain of knowledge and fun facts!
