# Freddie Mercury and Queen. The London tour

**Guidekin's take:** Trace Queen's Kensington connections through Imperial College, Beit Quadrangle, Royal Albert Hall and the site of Kensington Market. A professional English-speaking guide leads the walk; moderate fitness is required and children under twelve are not recommended. 4.8 from 122 reviews at €24 per person for 2h 30m.

## Overview

Described as a Queen expert by clients. I will lead you on a fascinating journey around Queen's Kensington. We hear of Dr Sir Brian May's time at Imperial College. We move on to Beit Quadrangle where Queen performed their first London gig in 1970. We will then pass the Royal Albert Hall where Freddie was star of the show at Fashion Aid. We will see the site of Kensington Market. Where Freddie and Roger had a stall. And where Freddie once measured David Bowies feet! We move on to the location of BIBA clothes shop, where Mary worked and was regularly visited by a love-struck Freddie. We will see the apartment where Freddie and Mary first lived together. We will see a number of other addresses associated with Queen. I will tell you the story of Queen at Live Aid. We will move on to Garden Lodge, Freddie’s country home in London where we will hear stories of Freddie’s life and tragic untimely death. My tours are up to a maximum of 16 people with new content added every week.
