Greenwich Shore Excursion: London Rocks! Soho Rock and Roll Walking Tour with Black Cab Transportation

Date Unavailable

Join me, Rob Woodford, in the heart of London’s West End to explore and celebrate all of the iconic music locations of our capital city, starting from Greenwich Ship Tier with a 'meet and greet' from a qualified London taxi driver and guide.

A special experience for those who love classic rock music, as we follow in the footprints of the world’s greatest musicians in the beating heart of London’s music scene.

After the walking tour, you'll be transported back to Greenwich in the Black Cab, ensuring you're back on time to meet your ship.

Guests enjoying a post tour cocktail in a cell where the Beatle was once in custody.

Soho is London’s ‘alternative space’, a unique neighbourhood, with a rich musical history, and has the cornerstone of the British entertainment industry for decades.

Check out the venues used as recording studios, auditoriums and theatres for gigs, pubs and clubs where the stars hung out, music instrument stores, settings for album covers and even a magistrate court where stars were busted.

Legendary artists such as David Bowie, Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Kinks, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix, T.Rex, Queen, Elton John, Sex Pistols, The Clash, U2 and Oasis, to name-check just a few.

A music voyage to feature all genres: classical, jazz, folk, skiffle, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, reggae, heavy metal, punk and new romantics.
I show you images to enhance presentations, and play many of the hits that we all know and love, as we move around locations.

On Old Compton Street in Soho, to the birthplace of British rock and roll.

Allow me to bring some passion and energy to the amusing storytelling, to provide you with a memorable fun and entertaining London tour experience, and some treasured photo shoots.

My tours are never complete without hidden secret gems, I call it ‘street alchemy’.

Hard Rock Cafe

We finish near the original Hard Rock Cafe in Old Park Lane, where you have the option to enjoy a meal and/or visit the Vault—a free, guided rock 'n' roll museum located in the basement of the restaurant. Housed in a former bank that once stored the Queen's treasures, the Vault showcases valuable music memorabilia from legendary artists like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.

Seamless Return to Greenwich

After your captivating London experience, you'll bid farewell to Rob. Your driver-guide will then escort you back to Greenwich, coordinating the return journey to ensure you arrive with ample time before your ship sails.
