Step into the soundtrack of London’s musical past with this vibrant two-hour walking tour through Soho, the city’s beating heart of entertainment and rebellion.
From the historic alleys of Denmark Street, known as ‘Tin Pan Alley,’ to the legendary Carnaby Street, this guided walk takes you through decades of music history, from jazz and skiffle to punk and pop. Your expert guide will tailor the tour to the group’s musical tastes, creating a dynamic playlist of stories, landmarks, and hidden gems.
Uncover the rich cultural layers of Soho. It was once London’s Little Italy and French Quarter, later the smoky jazz dens of the 1920s, and the bohemian coffee bars of the 1950s where British rock began to stir. Explore iconic spots tied to 1960s folk and blues legends, the 1970s punk explosion, and the emergence of New Wave in gritty basement clubs and electric venues.
Pass by historic recording studios and gig venues where icons such as Queen, David Bowie, The Beatles, Elton John, Black Sabbath, Genesis, and The Kinks laid down tracks or played intimate shows. Discover the premiere sites of films by Beyoncé, One Direction, and Taylor Swift, and see modern-day hangouts for stars like Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, and Lady Gaga.
Our early 10 AM start means you get to explore Soho’s hidden gems and rich musical heritage before the busy streets fill with visitors.
