Overview

Walk Through the Soundtrack of London:

Join us on a 2-hour walking tour through Soho, London’s buzzing Entertainment District and the beating heart of rock and pop history. Your expert guide will tailor the tour to your musical interests — from jazz and blues to punk, classic rock, and modern pop. Explore iconic music landmarks like Tin Pan Alley, Carnaby Street, and hidden venues where legends like The Beatles, Stones, Bowie, and The Who got their start. Discover the jazz clubs of the 1920s, skiffle cafés of the 50s, and gritty punk venues of the 70s.

Soho’s streets have seen it all — from beatniks and mods to goths and pop stars. Today, it’s where past and present collide in a rich mix of music, fashion, and culture. Come walk in the footsteps of icons and hear the stories behind the sounds that shaped generations.

Whether you're a classic rock fan, punk rebel, pop lover, or just curious about London’s music legacy — this tour is for you. Join us for this Legendary Walk!
