Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

Your guide will be waiting outside (not inside) Starbucks coffee shop at the junction of Vigo Street and Sackville Street. He will be standing next to a tree and a bench, holding a small 'Fantastic Walks' flag. There are customer toilets in the shop and wifi access if you need it.

End point

We finish our walk on Manette Street, right next to Charing Cross Road. Tottenham Court Road tube station is a one‑minute walk away, and Leicester Square tube, five minutes. Your guide will happily point you in the right direction for wherever you’re heading next.

    This is the first stop on the tour. It is our policy not to tell you about this or any other stop (there's about ten in total) because that takes away the surprise. It's better to think of our time together as a Magical Mystery Tour—the 'mystery' being how such a small corner of London left such a massive mark on the global music scene, and the 'magic' being the songs that were written and performed here. One thing’s for sure: you won’t be disappointed. If anything, this tour just might be the highlight of your visit to London. That’s certainly our aim!

    This is the end of the tour. And what an end! But still not going to say what happened here - but it's amazing. Rock 'n' roll! What we can say, though, is that you have just had the most amazing time and made some amazing memories. Yes, your feet might ache a little, but what a walk!
