Overview

Welcome to Soho, London’s legendary home of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. This Rock ’n’ Roll Walking Tour of Soho explores the music, scandal, fashion, and rebellion that made this tiny district one of the most influential cultural hotspots in the world.

Discover where The Beatles played their first and last London gigs, where Beatlemania was born, and how venues here launched the careers of The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix. Walk through Soho’s former red-light district, explore Carnaby Street and Swinging Sixties fashion, and hear stories of outrageous excess, police raids, and cultural revolution.

Along the way, learn about Karl Marx, Mozart, Casanova, and the cholera outbreak that reshaped London. Visit landmarks including The London Palladium, Leicester Square, Liberty, and more.

Perfect for music lovers, pop culture fans, London visitors, and locals, this tour reveals the wild history behind Soho’s glamorous façade.
