The group meets beneath the neon swirl of Piccadilly Circus and steps into Soho’s narrow streets, where brick and plaster hum with music history. Your guide leads you between tucked-away alleys and four classic pubs; windows fog, bar stools creak, and the air tastes faintly of old cigarette smoke and spilled beer. You hear punchy anecdotes about The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix’s London sets, and the late-night haunts of Bowie and Elton — the city’s soundscape pushed forward by these characters.
