“The Beatles got the white hat. What was left? The black hat.” Keith Richards
Celebrating the Rolling Stones in Swinging London.
Curated & guided by Adam Scott-Goulding (“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hugely knowledgable, brilliant storyteller” Howard D Google Reviews January 2021) this walking tour will prowl in the blueswailing, drug-busting, establishment-baiting footsteps of the savage young Stones in their 60’s pomp.
This is Act One of the greatest rock’n’roll story ever told.
We’ll see…
The Denmark Street recording studio where they recorded their first album
The locations of the venues of 1960s London – from the Marquee to The Scene and more
The locations of exclusive nightclubs where the stars made their playground
And, this being the Rolling Stones, we’ll also visit the court where both Mick Jagger and Brian Jones were tried for drug offences in 1968 and 1969.
Adam’s London music tours always unfold the stories within a wider social and historical context. When searching for the young Rolling Stones guide you through the 400 years of theatre history that provides the backdrop to the story of popular music; the drug culture and policing in the period; and the shock of the new architecture of the 1960s.
END POINT: This walking tour ends in Carnaby Street, Soho (nearest Tube Oxford Circus).
FREE BONUS CONTENT
As with Adam’s successful Bowie In 60s London tour earlier in the year (“ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic. Kept us spellbound” Alexandra T Google Reviews Jan 2022”) a ticket to this tour also includes access to FREE bonus content in the shape of an exclusive virtual tour which you can stream and watch in your own time.

I am a massive Stones fan, so for me it doesn’t get much better than this, for walking tours!! I love knowing exact buildings and what happened there, so when it involves The Rolling Stones, superb. Adam was so much fun, had so much information, was attentive and caring to everyone. Also, a shout out to the wonderful list of links and information that was sent once we got home. That was above and beyond the call of duty and very much appreciated.

Thoroughly entertaining and informative tour. Loved the music played at some of the stops. Adam is knowledgeable, personable and explains key points very well. Definitely recommend this tour.

Myself and my wife went on Adam’s Rolling Stones tour, and it was fantastic. We have been going on London Walks for nearly 30 years now and amongst stiff competition this was the best yet. Adam is very enthusiatic and has a great knowledge of music and social history. I really liked the addition of the smart speaker to play a soundtrack to what we were looking at. Two hours has never gone by so quickly and so enjoyably!
Steve Dann –
Highly enjoyable couple of hours around Soho visiting the venues and haunts of the Stones et al. Adam weaved in a number of additional key players, such as Andrew Loog Oldham and Marianne Faithful. It was informative and entertaining, without being sycophantic or trite. As always on these walking tours, you get to notice places you would normally walk past. Recommended.
Chris –
Not the first and certainly not the last. Very informative and a lot of fu.
Michele Baker –
Adam is bursting with enthusiasm and has the most enjoyable voice. His knowledge of the city and The Rolling Stones was delivered in a clear and interesting manner. And he’s funny! I highly recommend any of his tours.
Thomas –
Adam had clearly put a lot of research into the people who had shaped and formed the band. He had interesting tales of what happened, but also was clear to point out where inaccuracies and misinformation about the band had occurred.
Sandra G –
Really enjoyed the walk.
