London: Music Tours
The Vibe:London's soundtrack, played street by street 🎸
Few cities have shaped modern music like London. From Beatles pilgrimage sites to Bowie's Brixton and punk's Soho origins, themed music walks map the albums, studios and venues that defined 20th-century sound.
Traffic hums across Abbey Road as fans pose mid-crossing, trying not to get hit. Soho basements still smell of cigarette smoke and warm amplifiers, hours before doors open.
- • Abbey Road remains one of the world's most-photographed zebra crossings
- • The 100 Club on Oxford Street has hosted every major British rock act since 1942
