Tour Highlights

A tribute to the musical icons of Camden from the ‘Queen of the Gypsies’ to Amy Winehouse and The Clash to Yungblud.

Explore the markets, saunter past the venues and down the cobbled alleys where legends were made.

A passionate local storyteller to give you the highlights and lowdowns of Camden’s musical legacy.

Description

Welcome to Camden, the undefinable and eternally individualistic railway town on the ‘wrong side of the tracks’, where hard times, good stories and extraordinary talent met to create a musical phenomenon.

 

Inspired by the fantastic new documentary series from Disney +, we’ll start from Camden’s earliest days when the Irish trad musicians who came to build the railway lines filled the many pubs with songs from home, surrounded by burning coal fires and booms of heavy industry. Moving backwards and forwards in time, you’ll discover Camden Lock, the Roundhouse, wander down into the winding labyrinth of the Stables markets, past the dingy bars where legends were made, raucous after hours kebab joints where jazz singers held court and gig venues where infamous feuds were fuelled.

 

The music born here has provided the soundtrack to decades of change so walk with us in the footsteps of Amy Winehouse, The Clash, Madness, The Libertines, Yungblud and so many more icons as our gifted storyteller waxes lyrical on psychedelic rock, Brit pop and English folk, the sounds of the synthesiser and the snarls of the punks, via the Irish navvies and Victorian music hall stars who laid the foundations for them.

This was the best tour we did during our trip London. Our guide Nathan had so much knowledge of all the areas we visit and we could listed to him for hours. Really good value, could not recommend highly enough!

We loved it. The tour guide, Francis, was very nice and got us to the right places at the right time. He talked about the history of the monarchy and some stories about the experiences he’s had with the royal family. The change of the guards was really cool and interesting to see. The overal experience was great. :)

In mid December my family and I went on a changing of the guard tour with Francis. He was an amazing guide with exceptional knowledge and ensured we got the best view of everything. The tour was enjoyable and we’re all so glad we went!
