Short read: A Magical Mystery Tour of  Beatles’ London 

“Oh, I believe in yesterday” read: Guided by the pied piper of Beatlemania, The Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away… 

“A splendid time is guaranteed for all.”

Let’s introduce you to our band. Your Beatles London tour guide is the one and only Richard P. “His personal knowledge adds an element of credibility that is unavailable elsewhere” said USA Today. Richard really knows his Beatles history. Then on guitar, we have Adam, a national journalist and one of our leading music writers. He’s a rock n roll raconteur. “He’s like having your own personal rock star for a tour guide” said one of our walkers.

This Magical Mystery Tour is a chance to ‘get back’ to Beatlemania and London in the rock n roll era of the Swinging Sixties. It’s an absolute must for any Beatles fan.

Yes, The Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – all came from Liverpool and started their career with Brian Epstein at the legendary Cavern Club. But, as their success and Beatlemania grew, the Fab Four headed to London where they lived, worked and played.

What will you see on our Beatles London tour?

You’ll have a magical mystery Beatles London walking tour. Our expert guide will help you to easily imagine a 1960s London when the Fab Four ruled the cultural capital of the world and crossed paths with peers like The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix.

Highlights include their Central London “Apple offices” on Savile Row where they played their famous rooftop session (their last live performance). The tiny art gallery where John Lennon first set eyes on Yoko Ono (that fateful encounter that changed everything). Paul McCartney’s headquarters.

And yes, you’ll visit their legendary recording studios – Abbey Road Studios. You’ll get to step onto the world-famous zebra crossing from the Abbey Road album cover. You’ll walk the walk and stop traffic on the Abbey Road crossing – a moment for your own iconic photoshoot.

We also run other Beatles London tours. Our In My Life walking tour centres on Marylebone. You’ll get to see places the Fab Four lived, where Beatles marriages took place, and film locations from A Hard Day’s Night and Help.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE GUIDING

Don’t just take it from us…

BEATLES MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR – THE PRACTICALS

Meet Richard P. 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. we make a short Tube journey to Abbey Road so getting a Day Travel Card or an Oyster Card – “a ticket to ride” – is a good idea. The walk ends at the Abbey Road Studio, a three-minute walk from St. John’s Wood Tube Stop.  

LONDON WALKS REVIEWS

“RICHARD Porter is the smartest man in Britain – at least when it comes to The Beatles. In reality, considering the Sixties pop scene was a hotbed of sex and psychedelic drugs, he probably knows more about The Beatles than the remaining members of the Fab Four can remember themselves.” Brian Crisp National Travel Editor, Escape

“When it comes to possessing a thorough knowledge of the movements of the Beatles, there are few who can surpass Richard Porter. Dubbed the “Beatles Brain of Britain,” his personal kinship with John, Paul, George and Ringo makes the London tours he conducts for London Walks some of the most popular in the city. After more than 20 years and guiding around 150,000 visitors, Richard’s lead is the one to heed. His personal knowledge adds an element of credibility that is unavailable elsewhere.”  USA Today

“The walls in front of the famous studios are smeared with a million cliches, long-standing graffiti proclaiming the fans’ undying love. Here, several years ago, Paul McCartney appeared while Porter was doing his tour. Springing cheerily from his limo, Paul consorted with the fans before vamoosing to cut his album. Porter had captured the moment. Snap! We are agog. For there it is: Paul looking cherubic. As does Porter, standing before us now, irrepressible, and so likeable that you wish you could set him to music. Will lightning strike twice? Will a Beatle casually materialise? But Porter is talking again, more facts, more memorabilia. Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Traveller

“London Walks puts you into the hands of an expert on the particular area and topic of a tour…”  The New York Times

“The original and best – there are several companies offering walking tours of London but London Walks (London’s oldest) is easily the pick of the bunch”   London, Cadogan Guide

“A splendid time is guaranteed for all”  Toronto Globe and Mail

Best Beatles Walk  “If you are a Beatles fan then you will love touring London with Richard P! My family had the pleasure of joining Richard on the Beatles “In My Life” walk and enjoyed every moment. The tour is very informative and hits many great spots such as John and Yoko’s home, film locations for Beatles movies, and ends at Abbey Road. Richard is knowledgeable, projects well so you can hear every word he says, and takes great care to make sure the tour stays safe and together when walking down the streets of London. I want to go back to London just to experience more tours with this company!”  Pkid71 Saginaw, Michigan
