Highlights
  • Abbey Road Studios - Have your photo taken on the world famous pedestrian crossing from the exact spot where the original photograph was taken for the Abbey Road cover shot. This means that your shot will look exactly the same as the album cover!! With the help of some incredible visual aids hear all the amazing stories surrounding this incredible studio and the part it played in the history of the worlds greatest rock band.
    Unfortunately there is no access to the studios however we will visit the Abbey Road Studios gift shop that sells a selection of fantastic official Beatles merchandise.

  • Chelsea - The Apartment where it all began. Visit the apartment where the Rolling Stones lived for 18 months ( 1962/63 ) at the start of their amazing career. With the aid of some incredible photographs I will show you that this apartment has hardly changed since Mick, Keith and Brian lived there nearly 60 years ago.
    Please note there is no access to the property,

  • Kensington High Street - Visit the house where Freddie Mercury spent the last 5 years of his life. Hear how he left his home and fortune to the only person he loved. Discover the twist in the tale that leaves so many unanswered questions.
    Please note there is no access to the property.

  • Holland Park - The Tower House Holland Park is the current home of Jimmy Page. Visit his amazing Gothic home and with the help of some incredible visual aids hear how Jimmy has painstakingly restored this Victorian Gothic masterpiece.
    Please note that Jimmy spends a lot of time at this property. I have met him on a few occasions outside his house and he trusts me not to disturb his privacy. There is no access to the property and we need to be respectful if he or his partner, family or friends should enter or exit the building.

  • Notting Hill - The Death Of Hendrix.
    Visit the apartment where on 18th September 1970 Jimi Hendrix drew his last breath.
    Was it an Accident ? Was it Suicide ? Or was he murdered ?
    You will hear all the evidence and then you can make your own mind up.
    Please note there is no access to the building

  • Piccadilly Circus - The Beatles last ever performance from the roof of The Apple Corporation HQ, 3 Saville Row, London W1.
    See where The Beatles played live for the very last time on the roof of their Apple Corporations HQ in the heart of London’s West End.
    With the help of some fantastic visual aids hear how John Lennon waved goodbye to the band “Thanks for coming and I hope we passed the audition”.
    This building is now an Abercrombie & Fitch store so there is access to the building but not the roof.

  • Regent Street - Where Ziggy played Guitar!
    See where David Bowie stood for the album cover shot of Ziggy Stardust. Since his death in 2016 this has become a shrine for Bowie fans from all over the world to pay their respects to the “Thin White Duke.” There is an extra special surprise at this landmark which will amaze all Bowie fans.

  • Wardour Street - Trident Studios.
    Stand outside the legendary Trident Studios and feel the atmosphere created by a building that has produced many of the world’s greatest recordings. It takes a considerable amount of time to recite all the amazing records that have been recorded here. From Major Tom to The Yellow Brick Road its a roll call you simply won’t believe!

  • Soho - Please note that you can customise any Rock Cab Tour. Just let me know your favourite bands and artists and I will try my best to accommodate them. Here’s just a few you could include: The Who, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Cream, Genesis, AC/DC, Jethro Tull, The Kinks, The Animals, Elton John, Motorhead, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Oasis, George Michael.

We came back for more! - Our rock cab tour was the highlight of our visit to London a year ago, so we came back this year and Steve made it really worthwhile with visits to even more historical sites. His depth of knowledge of the London rock n roll scene continues to amaze us. We will be recommending Steve’s rock cab tours to our friends and hope to come back some day for another visit.

Great walk down memory lane for my parents - I took my parents (both in their 70s) on the tour with Steve and they couldn’t have loved it more. They (and myself) had the best time as Steve is incredible knowledgeable and very funny. On top of it he knows the best spots for pictures and even took the best photos of them. Highly recommend

A must do! We had a blast! A must do for any rock lovers! - Absolutely not to be missed! Steve was amazing-so informative and entertaining! We had a blast! A must do for classic rock lovers. Even if you’re not, it was a very fun way to see a lot of the city in one go. He offers to customize but we just went with his suggestions and were not disappointed! We will do again next time- there so much to see you can’t do in one tour!

Top-notch musical history tour with a matchless driver! - Steve’s historical knowledge was phenomenal, right along with his skills as a cab driver. We saw so many famous sites and have wonderful photos to treasure. Steve is an absolute joy, and this was a wonderful part of my 60th birthday celebration!

Best cab ride, EVER!!! - Black Cab parked in front of the #RembrandtHotel, I wondered if it was ours. I give a knock on the windows. The driver rolls it down and I ask, "Are you Stephen?" TO which he responds with a smile and excited, "Yes! Who are you?" I don't give him my name, "I have a gift for you." Inside the lobby my family were waiting, and I let them know our driver was parked outside. Grab my present, and give it to him. HE WAS SHOCKED! Greeted with a present. Not any present, but one of historical rock value, a t-shirt from Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. WE HIT IT OFF INSTANTLY! Enough about that, Stephen's energy and passion for music, not just Rock, is REFRESHING. One thing to know history, another thing entirely to captivate your audience while driving, and still transport the passengers figuratively and physically. The photos he shares at each destination make each stop come to life, and inspire the imagination to run wild. I could hardly contain myself. What a great story teller, we were all ears. Not only this, but his hospitality and demeanor are bar none, as he patiently helped my Mom in and out of the cab. Very accommodating for anyone with mobility issues. The only negative take away is that the tour had to end. Stephen, "ROCK ON, MAN!" If you ever come to visit the US, please let us know. "I know a place..."🎶🎶🎶

Best ever! - Without a doubt, the best tour we have ever booked. Steve is a rock encyclopedia. He knows everything about any Rock and Roll, and what a personable bloke. We laughed the entire time. The sites were great, but Steve made it an event! Thank you, Steve

Steve's a great ambassador for rock legends of London!! - Steve was full of trivia, information and history on the rock stars of London! He was very accommodating and engaging. Great laugh and personality and dealt with any traffic challenges with little stress showing. My husband, son and I absolutely loved it and someday, when we return will take the tour again--maybe learning about other music legends! It was so nice to have a smaller group to get around with, and his concern for our safety and time was much appreciated, along with some not to miss tips in London!!
