London Trip Overview
London of the 1960s was electric, exhilarating and era-defining: trust me, I was there! I’d love to share with you the iconic places of that incredible decade, where the Fab Four and other stars lived, hung-out and recorded.
This is a complete A-Z of the four mop tops meteoric rise to fame from their arrival in London in 1962 to their last gig as a band on the roof top of their Saville Row headquarters in 1969. During the London black taxi tour we’ll visit the Abbey Road recording studios and of course that famous zebra crossing (crosswalk) which has become a grade II listed site.
No two Capital Cabbie tours are ever the same – let me know your interests and I’ll build them into the tour. My goal is to provide you and your group with an unforgettable sightseeing experience. Flexibility really is the name of the game: I will tailor your tour to your time, pace and interests.
