Private TourThe Beatles Audio Tour: From Soho to Savile Row
Soho was where the Beatles’ journey from obscure Merseyside musicians to global superstars began. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover the Soho recording studios, exclusive nightclubs, live theatres and swish Mayfair offices, where Beatlemania began. The tour starts outside the Criterion Theatre at Piccadilly Circus near the London Pavilion, where the Beatles’ films premiered in the 1960s. You’ll navigate Soho’s narrow streets, including the alleyway used as a backdrop for a now-famous gritty 1963 photograph. Along the way, you’ll pass Paul McCartney’s London headquarters, discover the Studios where Hey Jude was recorded, and learn how manager Brian Epstein transformed four scruffy teenagers into the world’s top boy band. The tour ends at the building near Piccadilly Circus, where the Beatles performed their final public concert in 1969, bringing Mayfair traffic to a standstill and creating a sensation that stopped the world.
