Grant was waiting for us at the advertised location even though we arrived early. Not to give too much away, we relived the London rock n roll scene by visiting many iconic locations. Grant shared his knowledge and passion for music generally and I would definitely recommend this tour to aficionados of 60’s/70’s & 80’s. Also to say it’s great to walk and get absorbed into a great part of London without worrying about getting lost!

Got shown some great bits of London we had never noticed before, so much to see in quite a small and very varied area right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Soho and surrounds

This was an outstanding walking tour! Our tour guide Glen was very knowledgeable and he took us through various areas including China Town, Soho, and several other key streets we had planned to see separately. We ended the day with pictures and a video of us crossing Abbey Road, like The Beatles. He also provided us recommendations on restaurants and other things to do. Thank you Glenn for the GREAT tour!
