About this tour
A 4-hour guided walk connecting two threads of London history: the Beatles' haunts and the Royal Mile. Starting at the iconic Abbey Road zebra crossing, you'll visit sites tied to the band's London years—McCartney's address, Ringo's former flat, the Apple rooftop—before pivoting to royal landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and St James's Park. A Blue Badge guide leads the route, with two bus journeys included to bridge sections on foot.
Highlights
- Walk Abbey Road's famous zebra crossing at your own pace
- Stand outside homes where McCartney and Starr lived
- See the Apple building rooftop, final Beatles performance venue

What to expect
Expect a methodical walking tour blending two distinct London narratives. You'll cover Marylebone and Mayfair neighbourhoods first, pausing at specific street addresses and storefronts tied to the band's 1960s presence. The guide will share stories and context rather than taking you inside venues. Two scheduled bus rides break up the walking sections. The second half pivots westward toward Whitehall and the Thames, where royal palaces frame the route. You'll peer through gates rather than enter buildings, and finish near Parliament. The pace is steady but allows stopping for questions and photographs.
