What to expect

  1. Savile Row

    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!
