Long before there was Abbey Road, Denmark Street was home to London’s musicians.

Most of the buildings date from the 1800s. Then rents were cheap, and so struggling artists, composers, and musicians found a place to live that was close to the theatres and pubs of Soho. Music publishers set up their businesses here around the 1890s, supplying the musicians of nearby theatres and music halls.

In the 1930s, the street was becoming renowned for music publishing, and shop windows displayed pianos and guitars. In the 1960s, recording studios started setting up.

Regent Sounds Studio opened at 4 Denmark Street in 1963. The Rolling Stones recorded their first album here.  Many are the stories about the Kinks, ELP, and Hendrix recording in the basement.   In 1974, new cutting-edge recording technology attracted Stevie Wonder.

ITV filmed a piece on Denmark Street, which you can watch below:

David Bowie set up residence in a camper van on the street near his studios!  Bob Marley bought his very first guitar here.  Celebrity musicians always have and always will flock here.  You never know who you might see.

Denmark Street is an essential London destination for music lovers.  An enthusiastic  musical community still exists today in the friendly atmosphere of this London side street. There’s always music wafting from basements, shop windows, and balconies and plenty of shops to browse.

You can visit Denmark Street, as well as other famous Rock ‘n’ Roll locations on our London Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour.

A classic London taxi is a great way to tour the capital. The black taxi has long been one of London`s most iconic symbols. We specialise in taxi-based tours of London. Our London Black Taxi Tours are a great way to see the sights, from the well-known to the surprising, the spooky and the exhilarating. Your tour guide and cab driver are one and the same. Anyone who knows London knows that the only people with the real Knowledge of the city are the famous London Taxi drivers.

We offer a range of tours with something suitable for everyone. The taxis are wheelchair friendly and can pick up and drop off customers at any Central London location. Taxis can access routes that the tour buses cannot always get to, plus the comfort and privacy of a private cab beats a windy bus any day.

The London Highlights Tour is the perfect introduction to London. The tour includes well known sights such as Buckingham Palace, The Houses of Parliament, and The London Eye. Along the way, you will see and be introduced to many other landmarks and sights of London. Those enjoying the tour will also enjoy a fascinating history of London as told by your guide.

Other tours we provide include the magical Harry Potter Tour. This tour is suitable for budding wizards, potty Potter fans, or just about anyone who has enjoyed the books or films. Highlights include a photo opportunity at the famous Platform 9 ¾ and a trip to Leadenhall Market, home of the Leaky Cauldron.

Anyone looking for some chilling and mysterious insights into London`s history may fancy the Jack the Ripper Tour. The tour includes the murder sites and the notorious east London pubs where the Ripper met his victims. Your guide will have specialist knowledge of all things `Ripper-related` and will be able to answer all your questions.

London is thought to be one of the most haunted places in the world, which means the Haunted London Tour is in high demand. Visiting some of London`s most notoriously haunted addresses such as 50 Berkeley Square in Mayfair and The Grenadier Pub in Belgravia is on the agenda.

There is also an opportunity to take a Customised Tour of London. This can include some of your own ideas or alternatively some suggestions from the cabbie themselves. This tour is great for those with children who may need to stop at a park or for food along the way.

Tours are not just for tourists, even those living and working in the capital can be both entertained and educated by a London Black Taxi tour. The tours are a great way to impress a client, and we can pick up and drop off from your office space in London.

London’s Autumn Glory

Autumn – when England’s green and pleasant land turns brown! But have you noticed that our autumns are becoming more colourful in recent years?  “As our climate changes”, suggests Nigel Taylor, The Curator of The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, “the hotter sunnier summers followed by sudden changes in autumn kick off the process of autumn colour development in a much stronger way.”

London’s parks and gardens are the place to be for autumn colours. Visit the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, the gardens at Eltham Palace, and the Pergola and Hill Garden in Hampstead Heath.  Glorious displays of colours are on view at Kew Gardens where there will be guided walks and tours as part of Autumn at Kew.  There are some seasonal walks in the Royal Parks like this free Autumn Bird Walk in Richmond Park on 15 October.

Drive out to the countryside

Or better yet, treat yourself to a day of relaxation and let us escort you to one of the many beautiful and historical sites on a day trip out of London.

You could choose our Stonehenge Tour or our Windsor Tour.   Or how about the ever-charming Scotney Castle on a Customised Countryside Tour.

The National Trust property of Scotney Castle is not one but two houses. At the top of the hill is the new house, designed by Anthony Salvin in Elizabethan style and built in 1837 for Edward Hussey III, who took the ‘Picturesque’ style as his inspiration. At the bottom of the valley are the romantic ruins of a medieval castle and moat.

The medieval castle and moat are the focal point of the celebrated gardens featuring spectacular displays of autumnal colour.

The estate is open all year, offering a variety of walks through the beautiful gardens, parkland, woodland and farmland.  After a sedate stroll around the gardens or a more brisk walk in the fields and woodland of the surrounding estate, stop for lunch or cake in their well-stocked tea room.  Sit outside in the sun overlooking the surrounding countryside or snug inside if the weather turns chill.
