As any fan of the Beatles knows, the band originated in Liverpool but made their mark in London. Take a journey through the iconic band’s life and career as you travel the streets of London and discover the prominent landmarks and lesser-known sites that tell the story of the Beatles in London.
You’ll be able to chart the rise of Beatlemania from the early days in 1962 to the band’s memorable end in 1970, as well as the solo years that followed.
One of the major features on any of these London Beatles tours is the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios. Learn all about this famous recording studio where Beatles recorded almost all of their albums and singles between the early days of 1962 to their final year in 1970.
The iconic crosswalk is also a fan favorite, where you can post just like the Beatles did on the cover of Abbey Road. This is one photo opportunity you won’t want to miss.
As you travel through the Beatles’ old stomping ground, you’ll also be able to view or visit some of the buildings that played a large roll in their lives. Get all the trivia about the London Palladium, where Beatles fans were first diagnosed with ‘Beatlemania’.
Another unforgettable spot on a Beatles tour is the Apple Corps building on Saville Row. First, it was converted into a recording studio where the band created the majority of the Let It Be album. It then went down in history as the bittersweet site of the Beatles’ impromptu final performance when they played publically for the last time on the rooftop.
Along with these major landmarks, you’ll also get the chance to explore some more underrated spots. Take in the sights of Marylebone Station where opening scenes of ‘A Hard Day’s Night‘ were filmed. If you decided on the Beatles walking tour, you’ll also enjoy a visit to the studio where ‘Hey Jude‘ was recorded as well as the filming location of ‘Help!‘.
Just down the road from Marylebone Station is Ringo Starr’s one-time-home where a number of the Beatles lived (as well as Jimmi Hendrix). It was here that Paul McCartney worked on the demos for several future hits including Eleanor Rigby.
If you’d like to grab a souvenir to mark the day, stop off at the London Beatles Store where you can buy anything from keyrings, postcards, posters, and clothing, to bona fide collector’s items like out-of-print magazines featuring the band and rare recordings.
Take a step back in time to the 60s on one of these Beatles tours in London, when Beatlemania gripped the world and the Fab Four’s music filled pubs and homes across London (and the globe).
If you’re a true Beatles fan or even just a music-lover with a taste for rock ‘n roll, this is the tour for you.

This tour was really enjoyable for the sites themselves and the guide. If you are already familiar with Beatles history, there is likely not much you’ll learn here, but it is fantastic to see so many of the sites where musical history took place. The tour does have a couple of stops so that you are not in the van the whole time, including a stop at the famous Abbey Road crosswalk, where our guide was helpful and patient enough to take pictures for all of the folks who wanted to walk across – no small feat with constant traffic and construction ongoing. While the van was necessary for moving to all of the different sites, it would have been nice to stop and see a few more locations, notably the location of the last concert on the former Apple records HQ. We have pictures of it from the van, but not the same as getting out and being on the streets where it took place. Again, overall a very worthwhile tour, that could be over the top with just a couple of tweaks.

Our tour started off a little rough, having to wait for tour guests who were late. The first venue was also a little disorganized between waiting to meet the late guests and fumbling a bit with pictures. Our guide,Stefan, was very knowledgeable about his topic and during the bus ride to the next destinations shared with us many pictures he had dug up of the Beatles and other rock legends. The tours of John Lennon’s home and Abbey Road were of course the highlights but, while we took a very nice tour of London’s nicer neighborhoods, seeing where one of them had business offices or once had lunch there was a bit unnecessary and made the tour longer than necessary. Stefan was very patient and kind to guests who wished to cross Abbey Road by 1800 different angles and even held the camera as they did so, but the rest of us who were done with the pictures were becoming irritated. Over all, the tour content itself was interesting, but a more concise, more relevant, narrative might have been better and not as long. Still, for die-hard Beatles fans, as was my son, the tour put a great smile on his face.
