Join me in the heart of London’s West End to explore and celebrate all of the iconic music locations of our capital city, starting directly from Greenwich Ship Tier with a 'meet and greet' from a qualified London taxi driver and guide.

Travel in comfort aboard a classic London Black Cab for a scenic ride into the city where, after dropping your luggage at your hotel, you'll join Rob Woodford, a knowledgeable local guide and former London cabbie.

A special experience for those who love classic rock music, as we follow in the footprints of the world’s greatest musicians in the beating heart of London’s music scene.

Following the tour, your cab will take you back to your hotel, allowing you to relax and enjoy the rest of your time in London.

Soho is London’s ‘alternative space’, a unique neighbourhood, with a rich musical history, and has the cornerstone of the British entertainment industry for decades.

Check out the venues used as recording studios, auditoriums and theatres for gigs, pubs and clubs where the stars hung out, music instrument stores, settings for album covers and even a magistrate court where stars were busted.

Legendary artists such as David Bowie, Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Kinks, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix, T.Rex, Queen, Elton John, Sex Pistols, The Clash, U2 and Oasis, to name-check just a few.

A music voyage to feature all genres: classical, jazz, folk, skiffle, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, reggae, heavy metal, punk and new romantics.
I show you images to enhance presentations, and play many of the hits that we all know and love, as we move around locations.

On Old Compton Street in Soho, to the birthplace of British rock and roll.

Allow me to bring some passion and energy to the amusing storytelling, to provide you with a memorable fun and entertaining London tour experience, and some treasured photo shoots.

My tours are never complete without hidden secret gems, I call it ‘street alchemy’.

Hard Rock Cafe

We finish near the original Hard Rock Cafe in Old Park Lane, where you have the option to enjoy a meal and/or visit the Vault—a free, guided rock 'n' roll museum located in the basement of the restaurant. Housed in a former bank that once stored the Queen's treasures, the Vault showcases valuable music memorabilia from legendary artists like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.

Our customers say...

"That man is a GEM – don't let him go away. During our week long stay we spent time with a handful of guides – London Walks, three EF guides, a Blue Badge and several others, but I will state with utmost certainty that not one of them was as genuinely interested and willing to make our day perfect as Chris. He set us at ease straight away with his warmth and down-to-earth personality and proceeded to entertain and enthral us with tales and trivia the whole day through. He asked just enough questions to get an idea of our interests and then managed to please everyone. What a perfect way for us to spend our last day in England...thank you for assigning him to our group...please, please give Chris a gigantic thank-you from us all."

LA, Maine, USA

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "
