Rock'n'Roll Explorer Day - Barnes, Twickenham & Richmond
Advertisement
A Rock’n’Roll Explorer Day goes further afield than a regular walking tour. It’s a full day tour using London’s public transport network to reach areas of London that are just too far to include on a standard West End walking tour.
On this Southwest London Rock’n’Roll Explorer Day we will travel by public transport to visit three different historic neighbourhoods – each with a long and venerable musical heritage.
Barnes, Twickenham and Richmond are three of the most exclusive, picturesque and historic neighbourhoods in Greater London. Each boasts strong links with the major players in the foundation and story of rock ‘n’ roll.
As we go, we will also uncover a little of the history of these London villages, as well as the architecture, the famous people and the events that made these neighbourhoods the alluring destinations that they are in the 21st-century.
We will meet: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Small Faces, Queen, Marc Bolan & more…
We will see: Recording studios, film locations, homes, shrines, legendary gig venues and we’ll visit one of the UK’s best small museums with free admission for Rock’n’Roll London Explorers.
Music History
From the arrival of black music into England to the birthplace of The Rolling Stones we’ll look at how, when and why American music was reshaped in this leafy corner of olde England’s capital.
