From the guide

Grab your friends, round up the family, and follow the red umbrella through Soho's backstreets — the neighbourhood that gave the world Ella Fitzgerald, the Beatles, and the Sex Pistols, and still hides a good story on every corner.

This is a private tour, just your group and a local guide who actually lives here. No merging with strangers, no fixed script. We'll walk you past the clubs where legends were made, the flat where the Beatles nearly signed their first deal, and the street where a teenage Mozart once lived. Along the way, expect a few surprises: Karl Marx, Casanova, and a Soho ghost story or two.

Tell your guide what your group's into, more music history, more scandal and gossip, more photo stops, and they'll shape the walk around you.

Good for: birthdays, reunions, family visits, "we're in London for the weekend and want to actually see something" days out.

Itinerary

Golden Square Stop 1
Your tour starts here, in the quiet square right in the middle of Soho's chaos, the calm before the story begins.
10 min
Carnaby Street Stop 2
Once the epicentre of Swinging Sixties fashion, where miniskirts and youth culture first took over the world. Great photo stop.
15 min
London Palladium Stop 3
One of Britain's most famous stages, home to decades of legendary performances, from variety greats to rock royalty.
Pass by
Liberty London Stop 4
This grand Tudor-style building looks centuries old. It's actually less than 100 years old, and built from the salvaged timber of two decommissioned Royal Navy warships. One of Soho's best "wait, really?" facts.
Pass by
John Snow Saloon Stop 5
Named after the doctor who traced a deadly cholera outbreak to the water pump right outside! One of Soho's strangest, most important stories.
