It's definitely a kinda magic on this Queen tour of London! From the epic Bohemian Rhapsody to the anthemic We Are The Champions, Queen has been one of the most influential rock groups of our time since 1970. This three-hour walking tour shows you Queen's London.
Moving around central London on foot, you'll see the places that mark significant moments in the journey of the group. It'll recount the journey from being a student band playing gigs in tiny Soho venues, to international supergroup, filling stadium venues around the world, selling over 300 million records and clocking up 16 number 1 albums.
You'll see Imperial College London where, back in 1970, Queen played their first gig. Brian May was (would you believe) studying astrophysics at the college. Freddie Mercury was a student at Ealing Art College and Roger Taylor was studying dentistry. Originally called Smile, the group changed its name to Queen when Freddie joined - and the rest, as they say, is history.
This is a fascinating tour that's filled with band history. Even if you're a Queen mega fan, there's bound to be anecdotes that you've never heard before and being able to hear the stories and see where the events took place really brings the story of Freddie, Brian, Roger and John to life.
These Queen tours of London start at South Kensington tube station and end at the Dominion Theatre, where the Queen-themed musical ‘We Will Rock You' entertained audiences for 12 years. It's also where Freddie was last seen in public, at the 1990 Brit Awards. There's even a great story about a 20ft gold Freddie statue that starts here too…
