Our expert guide will lead you through the streets of Soho bringing the area to life. The theme of the tour is the musical legends who called Soho their stomping ground. From Ella Fitzgerald, to the Beatles, to The Sex Pistols and on to the modern day, it is music that has made Soho iconic. You will be shown not just the locations where these stars lived, but also the venues they gigged in and the studios where their songs were immortalised forever.
But there is more to Soho than just music! You will also visit Carnaby Street, which was perhaps the most fashionable road in the world during the Swinging Sixties. We were also tell you stories about some of Soho's other notable residents, including Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Casanova and even Mozart!
Just let your guide know what you are interested in, and they can cater the tour to your tastes!

Best niche walking tour I’ve ever been on

5.00Rob was an incredibly enthusiastic guide who was genuinely interested in the subject matter which made it that much more fascinating to learn about. I had no idea there was so much influential rock and roll history in such a small area in London. Walking around Soho and hearing the origin stories and venues that launched so many classic rock legends was captivating to say the least, and Rob’s authentic and gregarious personality only added to the charm of the tour. 10/10, highly recommend to anyone especially music lovers.
Soho rocks!

5.00This 2 hour walking tour around Soho was made perfect by our guide Ashley. He was very knowledgeable and his presentation was excellent. The tour itself is very informative e taking you to some very interesting historical musical sights. A must for those of us who grew up with the music of the 70's.

5.00We enjoyed our 2hours Soho tour with Kevin. He did a great job in sharing a lot of interesting information in an entertaining way! Would definitely recommend it if you are interested in Soho and curious to get some background about music. You don't have to be a rock'n'roll enthusiast to like it!
Great experience!

5.00What an amazing tour! 2 hours around Soho discovering the most epic places and facts of the London rock’n’roll history. And if you don’t like music the tour is equally enjoyable as full of anecdotes obout the city from its Roman ancestor to the Industrial Revolution. Our guide, Kevin, has been simply AMAZING! Can’t wait to discover more tours around London!
Great tour for history fans!

5.00This was a brilliant & fascinating tour of Soho. Sam, our guide, was truly excellent -- very knowledgeable, clear, and enthusiastic. The tour included so much more history than simply rock and roll, from Henry VIII's hunting grounds to Blake's birthplace to the cholera epidemic to Marx's apartment -- but yes, there were also the Violet Door and Trident Studios. We 'donated' 15 pounds at the end and it was worth every pence!
Excellent

5.00Nathan, our guide was great, very kind and funny, the tour was very interesting and complete. We could know new artists and history of the street art in the Shoreditch neighbourhood of the last fifty years. It was a very nice experience.
