From the guide

British Punk was born in the Kings Road Chelsea but came of age in the clubs and dives of Soho and the surrounding area. Soho was a very different area in the mid seventies so join me as I bring it to life and introduce you to the groundbreaking punk characters and sites.
The Clubs include The Marquee, Vortex, 100 Club, and Notre Dame Hall, a Strip club Pistols gig, Influential record stalls/record labels, The Sex Pistols' local pub, the site of the first Sex Pistols gig, their rehearsal room and The Jam having run ins with the law, this tour has it all!!
