Why choose this London tour ?

The tour takes you past their homes and haunts in Chelsea and the venues where they played and hung-out. You’ll visit Olympic Studios, where they recorded six consecutive albums and the church hall location in Richmond where the group performed to a dozen or so fans in various line-ups before securing their first weekly residency at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond.
