Adam writes… As a London tour guide, I love getting ideas and inspiration from the people I meet along the way.
Every summer I’m the local guide on tours of London for the Rick Steves Family Tours on behalf of London Walks…
…and this year my friend Ragen Van Sewell, a great Rick Steves guide, came up with this: a playlist of Billboard Chart Top 40 Hits From London Bands/Artists. It’s a pretty impressive and varied list. Have a listen here…
Inspired by Ragen, I’ve rolled 50 of the artists from his playlist into a map of London for your own musical explorations…
If you visit any of the spots send me a pic! Drop me a line HERE or you can share on Facebook HERE.
London Best For Culture
London was recently named Best City in the World For Culture by Time Out. And with the news that the Beatles museum is to open at the famous Rooftop Gig location in Savile Row, it’s a very exciting time for music tourism in London. I’m currently touring London with music fans from all over the world visiting London for a variety musical experiences. The Music Is Black exhibition at the V&A East and the ABBA Voyage show are particularly popular. For my round up of current shows and exhibitions, click HERE.
