Short podcast listen: Adam riffing brilliantly on how a music walking tour is not just a dance to the music of our time – it’s also a dance to who we are.

Long read: All roads once led to Rome… now they lead to London. In terms of Rock ‘n’ Roll this is an inarguable fact. Big bucks may be made in Hollywood but rock ‘n’ roll reputations are made here in The Big Smoke. We’re headin’ to their haunts and hangouts. Where they riffed and let rip, these men of wealth and taste. Please allow me to introduce The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blur, Oasis… It’s a Who’s Who of the music. Each act has a London tale to tell… Very often a tale so decadent – so down and dirty – that Caligula would have blushed!*Keep on walking, keep on rocking! Guided by Adam or Rex. *with thanks to Morrissey

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL LONDON – THE PRACTICALS
Rock ‘n’ Roll London takes place every*Friday – year-round – at 2 pm. The meeting point is just outside exit 1 of Tottenham Court Road Tube Stop. If arriving on the Elizabeth Line follow the signs for the Tottenham Court Road Exit, and then take Exit 1, Oxford Street South N.B. the Rock ‘n’ Roll London Walk ends very near Oxford Circus Tube. *Not Dec. 25
If you can’t make one of the regularly scheduled, just-turn-up, Rock 'n' Roll London it can always be booked as a private tour. If you go private you can have the Rock 'n' Roll London walk – or any other London Walk – on a day and at a time that suits your convenience. We’ll tailor it to your requirements. Ring Fiona or Mary on 020 7624 3978 or email us at [email protected] and we’ll set it up and make it happen for you. A private London Walk – they’re good value for an individual or couple and sensational value for a group – makes an ideal group or educational or birthday party or office (team-building) or club outing.
GIVE THE GIFT OF LONDON WALKS
A private London Walk makes a fab gift – be it a birthday or anniversary or Christmas present or whatever. Merchandise schmerchandise (gift wrapped or not) – but giving someone an experience, now that’s special. Memories make us rich.
Wonderful tour…with tiny details about many of the early rock and rolls greats that we could not have seen on our own. Our guide was fabulous – entertaining, a lot of knowledge of rock & roll!

Having previously been on the Krays walk with Adam I knew his Rock ‘n’ Roll London walk on Friday 16th of August would be class and I wasn’t disappointed. Great fun and informative, it was evident he does his research as I felt the anecdotes were tailored to the groups interest and he could have accommodated just about any relevant question with a story or two.

Did the Tour on 26 April, found iy very disappointing
Thanks for your feedback, Kevin. So sorry you were disappointed with Richard P.’s Beatles Walk. And not just sorry. Surprised. Richard’s years of experience, his good contacts, his books, his Beatles Brain of Britain awards, etc. etc., he gets a ton of very favourable reviews.
I’d just add that we – London Walks generally – receive hundreds of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews every year. Naturally we take negative feedback very seriously indeed.
If you would like to expand upon your feedback about what it was you that disappointed you – i.e., tell us what you feel can be improved – by all means email us directly at [email protected]
It is well-known that London Walks provides the best guided tours in London – which is probably why you booked with us in the first place. Our walkers’ feedback is very important to us.
Thanks for ‘getting in touch.’

I have done lots of London Walks & they have all been good & thoroughly worthwhile. Adam’s Rock & Roll tour is definitely up there with the best of them. He is very knowledgeable & has a great delivery & enthusiasm for his subject. A very enjoyable 2 hours!

We took the tour with Adam on Sept. 29, 2023. FANTASTIC! Adam is so knowledgeable, an entertainingly funny story teller and full of enthusiasm for what he does. When we go back to London we will definitely do another tour! I have already recommended Adam to friends (by sending them this link) who will be traveling to London next year from the US. Rock on Adam and thank you so much! So incredibly fun and I’m glad to be able to watch this video to remember you by!

Adam was great! Filled with facts and a really good sense of humor! He also projected his voice well, so he was easily heard. The two hour tour just flew by! I highly recommend. I also look forward to doing other ones with London walks.

Although I’m a born and bred Londoner (now living in Australia) Adam showed me so much historical rock ‘n’ roll places and stories that I was so pleased a friend had recommended his tour to me (beening himself a London tour guide for over 20 years) because it’s not only The material its Adams sheer enthusiasm and stage presence.
It’s only rock ‘n’ roll but I like it like it!
