ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

Soho is the epitomic centre of music! There is no other place on the planet that could be called the birthplace of so many of the sounds we know and love today.

You will experience a magical, mystery tour of delights. Soho is a small village in what is now the greatest city in the world. Its musical heritage stretches from Mozart to the sounds of today. Our expert guides have lived and breathed the heady culture of the area since they were old enough to pick up a guitar. It is the bohemian heart of the city, so if you’re into music from Glen Miller to The Sex Pistols, Madness to Bowie, The Beatles to Led Zeppelin, you’re in for one hell of a treat!

You’ll see the birthplace of The Rolling Stones, the fashionable Carnaby Street; once the centre of world fashion and the scene of The Beatles’ very last performance…and that’s just the start. “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”

* If you have any allergies or specific dietary requirements, please let us know at the time of booking so Imagine customer service can advise the Hard Rock Café. Please note there is a significant amount of walking involved.
