Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour

Ben provided us with an entertaining and informative tour.

Sy was so much fun. He was very knowledgeable. Great tour would highly recommend it to anyone from wants to hear about the history of rock and roll.

Charlie is a personable guy and was well versed in the history of Soho. The stops were perfectly timed for a beverage tasting . If you go to Soho be sure to ask for Charlie!

My daughter booked this tour as a birthday present and we had a great time. Sy was a warm and engaging guide and made us feel welcome from the start. He shared lots of wonderful stories about the pubs and the area in a very relaxed and informative way. Recommended.

Our guide Carlos has been excellent, gave us a superb account of Soho, had great tidbits of London’s history and of course the beers. Wish it had gone on a little longer - well done!

I had the pleasure of joining the Soho Music and Historic Pubs tour on Monday 19th October 2026 along with my brother. We both had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon which was partly down to the glorious weather we were blessed with but more importantly due to our guide Charlie who was extremely knowledgeable and great company to be with. He had a very clear speaking voice such that we were never struggling to hear what he was saying which can very often be the case on group tours, especially in busy cities such as London. Not only was the information he gave us very interesting but the pace at which he delivered it was perfect. Nothing seemed rushed and he was always happy to answer ad hoc questions at each of the various stops along the way. We visited four pubs at which we were given recommendations for a local drink which my brother was very happy to test out! I was born in London and lived there for 20 years but despite this I learnt many things that I was not previously aware of. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in music, pubs or simply looking to learn a little more about the area. And if you're lucky enough to have the very personable young man Charlie as your guide you'll be very fortunate. Thank you Charlie - you're a star! (And I know you will be in your chosen career too!)

We had an absolute blast on this music/pub tour through Soho. Our guide, Charlie, was a fountain of information about the pubs we visited as well as the incredible music history of Soho. We had such a nice time, our whole group stayed at the last pub after the tour for a few extra pints. 🍻. I highly recommend this tour.

Such a fun tour. Our guy Tom was the guy you want. He knew everything about the pubs and music! Really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it

Super fun tour with an excellent guide. Tom was so knowledgeable and funny. He obviously enjoys his job and his passionate about beer and music! Highly recommend not to be missed tour.

We were bought this experience as a birthday present and had a very enjoyable afternoon with Charlie as our tour guide, we visited and learnt about parts of London we hadn’t been before. The party size was perfect with a mix of nationalities and we all had so much fun. Thank you Charlie and if ever you are in Rochester know where we are.

The tour of SOHO was exceptionally well organised and a real highlight of our stay. We were visiting London for the first time for an NFL game, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the city. Charly guided us perfectly through this fascinating part of London. His stories about the bars in Soho were absolutely brilliant and fascinating to listen to. Many thanks to Charly for the excellent organisation and the fantastic tour!

Very entertaining and interesting rock'n'roll tour of historic Soho pubs with lots of fascinating facts about the history of Soho, the pubs we visited and the many musical legends who lived, worked and drank in this vibrant and buzzy area of the West End. Sy was a brilliant guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, especially his beer recommendations in each pub!

Charlie was a fantastic guide!

Fascinating and engaging! Alan was our tour guide. He had so many stories and historical facts about the pubs and the people who frequented them!

This was a family birthday walk. We absolutely had a great time with Charlie who is so easy to be with. Charlie is very knowledgeable, very friendly and is so interested in the people he’s with. He gives you a brilliant time. Thanks Charlie.

Absolutely awesome experience. So much fun and learned lots of fun pub and music info, met fun people and our tour guide Ben was the best!!

Ben is a lively and informative guide. He is a wonderful storyteller, aptly sharing his knowledge of the musical history of SoHo. He made our afternoon a delightful experience.

Ben was excellent made it fun and was kind and warm

Wonderful tour ful of fun and facts , plus got to drink in such amazing pubs ! Tour was made even better by our excellent guide Henry

We had a great time. Great crowd. Charlie is very knowledgeable and made it fun...

This tour is sooo good and our guide, Charlie was awesome!! Highly recommend if you love music and pubs!! We had a great time!

Not much talk about the music that came from this neighborhood. More emphasis on the sex industry and the drinking than anything else. The tour guide was nice but had a hard time sticking to the time schedule.

We had a really great time on the Soho Music & Historic Pub Tour! Charlie was a fantastic guide, full of interesting stories and information that really brought Soho’s history and music scene to life. You could tell he really knew his stuff and enjoyed sharing it with the group. The people on the tour were lovely too, and it was great chatting to everyone along the way. A big thanks to Charlie for making it such a fun and memorable tour.

This was such a fun tour of the historic pubs in Soho. Charlie was our guide and shared lots of interesting facts about the pubs and the people who frequented them. We had time in each for a drink and great conversation.

We had a great time visiting the pubs, having a few pints, and learning more about the rock and roll and general history of SOHO. Charlie was a great guide!

A great overview of London pub culture by Thomas, visiting several interesting locations, trying out some great drinks, and hearing plenty of interesting rock ‘n’ roll and other connections by Thomas.

This tour was a lot of fun and full Of stories and details that we never would’ve known just walking around on our own! Ben was entertaining and informative. Thanks for such a great afternoon!

We had a great time with Danny Boy on the SoHo Music and Historic Pubs tour. He was knowledgeable and friendly - and we had a great group! The spots were charming and we got a pint (or 1/2) at each stop. So much fun on an afternoon. Definitely recommend!

Tom was our guide. He was knowledgeable, passionate and such interesting stories. Book this tour for sure!

This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to London! A friend recommended this specific pub and music tour, and we booked it- Al was the BEST! We enjoyed all the pubs and especially all the stories and personal touches Al added throughout the tour. Highly recommend booking this tour!

This was one of my favortie tours while staying in London. Ben has fantastic energy and knowledge of the area and it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! If you love music and pubs, you can't go wrong with this one!

An excellent experience! Ben (our guide) was very knowledgeable and engaging… a true entertainer and the best guide through London’s SoHo district we could have hoped for. Thanks, Ben! From your new Canadian friends.

Ben was a phenomenal tour guide, a gifted story teller and wonderful host. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip.

My wife and I took this Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour last weekend, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made during our time in London. Our guide was simply superb—so knowledgeable, witty, and full of energy. They took us through narrow lanes and hidden alleys we would have totally missed on our own, sharing fascinating stories about legendary rock musicians, secret recording studios, and iconic hangouts of British music giants from the 60s and 70s. Stepping into those old, historic pubs with so much character gave us a proper feel of London's rich cultural past. The pacing of the walk was just right, and even though it was quite engaging, we never felt rushed at all. We even stopped for a quick pint at a legendary spot where rock history was actually made! If you and your partner have even a slight interest in music and history, do not miss this tour. It is total value for money and a wonderfully entertaining way to spend an evening together.

Ben was such a treat! His exuberance, energy and engaging personality made the tour that much more fun - and he provided interesting stories and facts all along the way. It was a great way to see Soho and have some beers while learning more about the music scene and the people who frequented those same pubs.

Five Star Experience. Alan’s great energy along with his knowledge on Rock & Roll and local pubs was perfect.

Charlie was a great guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, and just genuinely good to hang out with for half a day

Great pub crawl. 4 pubs in London . Charlie was delightful and gave us the best little nugget of fun information/history at each pub! Half our group did not drink - all had fun!

Our guide was Carlos He is very friendly, showed us 4 city pubs and related very informative and historical facts about each pub. A lovely time with other tour guests and Carlos. The beer and drinks were also explained and delicious.

This was a really interesting tour and “Danny Boy” made it really enjoyable and fun. He gave us so many interesting stories and we had lots of laughs!

Tour guide Ben was fantastic. Great energy, interesting stories, and very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend.

Great tid bits if you're a rock n roll fan. I wouldn't consider myself as such necessarily but I knew most of the names that came up and I love music so hearing the stories and seeing the places where they happened was a real treat. Our guide Ben was very entertaining and made me as a solo traveler feel included and welcome. The drinks were really good too!

Ben ,was a great chap . Very knowledgeable. Very polite . Great with everyone. Good with the people that had to much to drink . Ben good to be round . Also ask him questions. Generally very good . Cheers ben for great tour

Ben was an absolute cracker of a guide. He has a brilliant way of telling stories that draws you straight in. Before you know it, you’re back in old Soho, imagining the characters, the music, the mischief and everything that went on behind those pub doors! Ben also had some great recommendations for beers, ciders and gin, so obviously we had to do our research properly! 😂🍻 There was plenty of time at each pub to enjoy a drink, have a chat and soak up more of the history. We loved listening to Ben’s stories and chatting with the other people on the tour about their travels and experiences. It was informative without being boring, relaxed without feeling rushed and had just the right amount of drinking involved… although I’m sure Ben would call it “historical research” 😂 The tour completely exceeded our expectations. Ben was fantastic, Soho was fascinating and we had a bloody good time! Highly recommended! 🍻🎶🇬🇧

Tom Hogan was the best guide for our afternoon Pub tour .The R&R stories and the history and the way we felt like we were back in the day at each stop. highly recommend this tour. Love the playlist and the fun pictures !

Great tour. Lots of fun facts about the area and different musical artists along with pubs with great atmosphere.

This was a fun, laid-back tour. Drink or don't drink, you'll have fun either way. Hope you get Henry for you guide. Henry was our guide on an earlier tour, and we were thrilled to see him when we checked in for this one.

Ben was amazing! Super knowledgeable and quite the tour guide. He was enthusiastic and engaging. His fun stories had us all laughing the entire journey. Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Al, was amazing. His knowledge of music and the pubs, his presentation, his personality, were unbeatable!
