I went on a London Beatles walking tour guided by Richard Porter today. We met outside of the Tottenham Court Road station exit 1.

This is the MPL Communications office in Soho Square where Paul can be seen occasionally. 

While I was in Soho Square, I took two photos of a Food For Life van because it had a Hare Krishna theme to it. 

Next, we stopped at The London Palladium in Argyll Street where The Beatles performed in three times. 

Next door to The London Palladium is Sutherland House where Brian Epstein’s offices used to be.

This is 3 Savile Row where they played their iconic rooftop concert on 30th January 1969. 

This is The Scotch Of St James, a nightclub where The Beatles would hang out.

This is used to be The Indica Gallery where John first met Yoko on 7th November 1966. It is now Riverside House.

Afterwards, we walked to Abbey Road . The lamp posts contained some Beatles stickers and artwork of Linda and Paul. 

After the tour was over, I visited The Beatles Coffee Shop in St John’s Wood Underground Station and got a delicious chocolate and banana muffin from there.

Then, I went to the London Beatles Store in Baker Street. It’s a lovely shop and the staff were friendly.

I had a fantastic day and I’m looking forward to doing The London Beatlemania! walking tour tomorrow.  

I went on the Beatlemania! 1961-1965 walking tour guided by Adam Scott-Goulding in London today. We met up outside of Embarkment Station.

First, we walked to The Playhouse Theatre where The Beatles recorded a session for the BBC Radio Show, Saturday Club on 31st March 1964. 

Next, we went to Trafalgar Square where The Beatles and Neil Aspinall visited for the New Year 1962 celebrations. 

This is the London Pavilion where The Beatles had their film premieres. 

Afterwards, we walked to the Prince Of Wales Theatre where they did their iconic performance for The Royal Variety Show on 4th November 1963. 

This used to be the Ad Lib Club where The Beatles would hang out. It’s also the place where John and George unknowingly took LSD for the first time in their drinks.

This is 13th Monmouth Street where the location of Brian Epstein’s NEMS office used to be from 1963-1964. It is now Cards Galore.  

On our last stop before Abbey Road , we walked to Denmark Street where The Beatles’ music publisher Dick James held his offices. 

I wrote ‘I love John, Paul, George and Ringo’ on the Abbey Road Studio wall. 

After the tour was over, I went to St John’s Wood Collectables in Violet Hill. Before I entered, I took a photo of the life-size cardboard cut-outs. The shop is small. I didn’t buy anything from there, but I had a lovely chat with the owner.   

I had a fabulous time on both of the walking tours this week. Richard and Adam were excellent tour guides.
