What our guests say

The London Beatles Tour officially recognised by the Cavern Club

A Beatles tour should be more than a photograph at Abbey Road.

Your London Cabbie is proud to be officially recognised and recommended by Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club — one of the most important places in the Beatles’ story.

That recognition reflects the specialist research and knowledge behind this London Beatles experience.

When you join the tour, you’ll travel with Peter Mulcahy, a qualified London cabbie and lifelong Beatles fan who knows the streets, stories and lesser-known locations behind the band’s London years.

The result is a tour that combines the famous Beatles landmarks with the stories and locations that are much easier to miss if you’re exploring London on your own.

Meet your guide: Peter Mulcahy

Your guide is Peter Mulcahy, a qualified London cabbie and lifelong Beatles fan.

Peter combines his knowledge of London with his passion for Beatles history, bringing together the famous landmarks and the lesser-known stories behind them.

His interest in the subject extends beyond the tour itself. He has written about London’s Beatles history, including the stories behind Abbey Road and London’s music scene.

For Peter, the Beatles’ London story isn’t just about famous buildings. It’s about the streets, venues, people and chance encounters that helped shape the band and the city around them.

What will you see on the London Beatles Tour?

The exact itinerary depends on the length of your tour, but your journey can take you through some of the most important Beatles locations in London.

Abbey Road and St John's Wood

No London Beatles Tour would be complete without Abbey Road.

Visit the famous Abbey Road pedestrian crossing and see the exterior of Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded some of their best-known music.

You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the Abbey Road Studios shop and recreate one of the most recognisable album-cover photographs in music history.

But Abbey Road is only the beginning.

Montagu Square

Explore locations connected with the Beatles around Marylebone and discover more about the people, places and events that shaped their lives in London.

Visit the location of Ringo Starr’s flat at Montagu Square, which also had connections to Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Paul McCartney also worked on compositions including “Eleanor Rigby” at the address.

Mayfair & Berkeley Square

Discover another side of the Beatles’ London in Mayfair, where the band’s world increasingly overlapped with London’s music, fashion and entertainment scene during the 1960s.

See Annabel’s nightclub and the nearby Mayfair Hotel, and hear about their place in the Beatles’ London story.

Savile Row

Discover the Beatles’ connection with Savile Row and the Apple Corps building, associated with one of the most famous moments in the band’s later London history.

The location is particularly significant because of the Beatles’ legendary rooftop performance.

Piccadilly Circus & the Beatles' films

Boston Place was one of the locations used for the famous chase sequence in A Hard Day’s Night. Piccadilly Circus was also the scene of huge crowds when the film premiered nearby at the London Pavilion. At the Prince of Wales Theatre, you’ll discover the location of the Beatles’ famous 1963 Royal Variety Performance.

Soho & London's music scene

Soho was at the heart of London’s music scene, and it forms an important part of the Beatles’ wider London story.

Peter’s knowledge of London’s music history means you’ll hear the stories behind the locations rather than simply driving past them.

Also of note, you will visit the site of the former Bag O’ Nails, a club where Paul McCartney met Linda for the very first time!

Recording studios

It goes without saying that Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded some of their best-known music, is a key location in any London Beatles tour. But there are a few other recording studios that played a significant part in Beatles and the wider London music scene of the sixties and seventies.

Easily missed, tucked down a narrow alleyway, Peter will show you Trident Studios. This was the studio where the Beatles recorded “Hey Jude”. The Fab Four were keen to try out Trident’s eight-track recording technology, working with producer George Martin.

The Beatles and many other well-known bands have a history with De Lane Lea studios, now owned and operated by Warner Bros.

Beyond the famous landmarks

One of the advantages of taking a private London Beatles Tour is that you can go beyond the locations that appear in every guidebook.

Along the way, Peter shares stories about the places where the Beatles lived, worked, socialised and found inspiration during their years in London.

These lesser-known locations help explain how the Beatles fitted into the city around them and how London itself became part of their story.

More than an Abbey Road tour

Abbey Road is one of the highlights, but the Beatles’ London story extends far beyond the famous crossing. From recording studios and former homes to Soho clubs, Mayfair and locations associated with the band’s films and performances, the tour explores the London behind the music.
