• The Half Moon, Putney, London - The Half Moon in Putney has been a venue for nightly live music since 1963. From early folk-blues sessions with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee to performances by John Mayall, Alexis Korner, and The Yardbirds, it became a cornerstone for UK blues-rock. Closely associated with the Rolling Stones, it continues to host Ronnie Wood, tributes, and emerging artists.
• Olympic Studios - Once a cinema, Barnes’ Olympic Studios became a rock landmark in 1966. The Rolling Stones recorded six classic albums here with producer Jimmy Miller, rivaling Abbey Road and attracting The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Bowie, and more. Mick Jagger contributed to the design of its second studio, and Jean-Luc Godard filmed “Sympathy for the Devil” during sessions in 1968. Myths of fires and lipstick graffiti persist. Today, Olympic combines cinema and recording facilities, maintaining its legendary musical heritage.
• Richmond-upon-Thames - Explore the Rolling Stones’ ascent on this engaging Richmond and Twickenham tour.

Proceed to the Richmond Athletic Ground, the site of their first major festival, then cross the footbridge to Eel Pie Island, a lively hotel that hosted their legendary 1963 residency and visiting blues legends. Visit Twickenham Film Studios where they filmed early TV promos and mixed Ladies and Gentlemen, and see Twickenham Stadium, the venue for their 2003 and 2018 homecoming shows. Along the way, hear about the Bull’s Head blues jams, the houses on Richmond Hill where Jagger, Richards, and Wood lived and composed songs, and myths of fires, lipstick graffiti, and sailor suits.
