- Chelsea - Immerse yourself in Chelsea’s rich musical history with this Rolling Stones locations tour through the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Trace the band’s journey from their humble beginnings at the gritty Edith Grove flat to the opulence of Cheyne Walk, where Jagger, Richards, and Ronnie Wood once resided and celebrated. Stand outside the Saatchi Gallery, the venue for 2016’s record-breaking “Exhibitionism”, and envision the iconic Chelsea Drugstore from “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”. Visit the Wetherby Arms, where Bill Wyman auditioned with his cherished amps, and the Australian Pub, the backdrop for their first official photo shoot. Cross the Albert Bridge, immortalized in “Gimme Shelter”, and discover how Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg, and other icons influenced the band’s sound and style. With captivating tales of parties, arrests, songwriting breakthroughs, and pop-culture milestones, this tour follows the Stones’ transformation from scruffy outsiders to cultural icons, right where it all began.
- 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. Start at the Crawdaddy Club in the Station Hotel, where Giorgio Gomelsky offered the band its first residency and the Beatles gifted them “I Wanna Be Your Man”. 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. Like the Cavern for the Beatles, these locations form the foundation of the Stones’ sound, image, and legend.
