Overview

Walk in the footsteps of Oasis and Amy Winehouse as you explore their North London haunts and discover where Coldplay started. Camden remains a key area in music history, with links to modern artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and One Direction, making the tour suitable for all ages.

The 2025 Oasis reunion tour and 30th anniversary bring renewed interest in the band’s legacy, which this tour highlights through visits to pubs, clubs, studios, and record label offices connected to them.

While not a pub crawl, the tour stops at several pubs once frequented by musicians. You’ll also explore Camden Market, canals, vinyl shops, street art, and other local landmarks, providing a broad view of Camden’s music scene from punk to today.
