Queen still rule! Forty-years on from their foundation the band are being discovered by yet another generation and their popularity with original fans is undiminished.

Queen are a London band. Formed here, cut their teeth here, recorded their music here, played their seminal gigs here, lived, partied and in Freddie’s case, died here. Our memorable tour focuses on landmark sites and locations in the band’s history. Of all our tours, this one probably takes you through the prettiest and wealthiest of London’s neighbourhoods, and following their journey from college kids to ascending rock royalty’s throne, fittingly takes us past a lot of London’s real royal sites like Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace.

You’ll see the university where the band was formed; the famous west London art college where Freddie went; the two studios where they most recorded; band member’s homes, including the house in Kensington where Freddie lived and died; take a drink in their favourite pub; and visit famed gigs sites like ‘The Pheasantry’ on Kings Road, Hyde Park, Wembley Stadium (‘Live Aid’) and The Royal Albert Hall. You‘ll also see locations where some of the great videos were shot and see the site of the last ever Queen performance.

This memorable day can have the perfect end by attending a performance of ‘We Will Rock You’ at London’s Dominion Theatre, where you’ll also discover a great Queen photographic exhibition.

Throughout our day we make full use of our DVD and CD playing facilities to watch and listen to historic performances. And with an expert Queen guide to accompany you throughout, you can expect a memorable day of historical information and fun!
