London has long been the epicentre of the Rock n’ Roll world and this nostalgic tour will take you on a journey through performances, recordings, album covers, and legendary gigs - both firsts and lasts.
You’ll get the behind-the-scenes stories of infamous nights out, lives, loves and the tragedies and triumphs of some of music's iconic legends.
For guests with mobility issues, or those with prams or buggies, there are no steps on the route, but there are cobbled streets to take into consideration.
