Baroque and Roll: A Musical History Tour

Tour dates and times:

Thursday - 21 August 2025 - 17:30

On this walking tour we will discover some of the rich music history of London, walking through the historic areas of St. James and Mayfair and witnessing where and why so many legendary figures of music have been drawn to London over the last 300 years. On our way we will be seeing where they created, lived and performed; where the stars partied in the Swinging Sixties, where Handel composed his greatest works, where Britain’s first pop star met his untimely demise, where the Beatles gave their last performance, and where icons of music from Chopin to Hendrix made their homes in London.
