Enjoy the London Calling: Rock n’ Roll Half-Day Tour with Black Cab Heritage Tours.
London’s music scene is like no other in the world and in this experience, you’ll be crashing the hang-outs of British punk bands and rock superstars in some of the most legendary music venues.
Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Queen, The Who, The Kinks, T.Rex plus the American icon Jimi Hendrix…all hands on the deck.
You will discover where they played and walk where they left their iconic footsteps… grunging in seedy Soho or swinging in swanky Mayfair.
Your driver guide knows a thing or two about the London rock scene. Our own Mick Greenwood band recently performed at Glastonbury; Paul Williams (regularly gigs for West London ‘Riverkites’); and Mark Taylor is a Bass player himself. He played in the 1980’s new wave band ‘Department S’.
