From Greenwich to the Heart of Bowie's London

Your adventure begins the moment your ship docks at Greenwich Ship Tier. We'll pick you up in a classic London Black Cab, providing a quintessential British experience from the outset. Your friendly driver-guide will share fascinating facts about London and the journey as you travel directly to South London. Upon arrival, you'll meet Rob Woodford, also a qualified London taxi driver, tour guide, and passionate Bowie expert, who will lead your immersive walking tour.

The David Bowie London Walking Tour: A Legacy Explored

A boy born in post-war Brixton, David Jones would transform into David Bowie, a global superstar whose legacy continues to inspire millions. This tour explores his south London roots, offering intimate insights into his early family life, before journeying to Mayfair and Soho to uncover his extraordinary working and social life in the capital's vibrant music scene.

Brixton & Stockwell: Bowie's Genesis

Our walkabout in Brixton and Stockwell isn't just about Bowie's personal connections to this dynamic neighborhood; it's also a celebration of the area's rich heritage and diverse cultures. You'll gain a unique perspective on the places that shaped him as a young lad growing up.

Brixton proudly embraces its Bowie connections. We'll visit sites where fans spontaneously gathered to celebrate his life and music after his passing, including the impromptu street parties that became a testament to his enduring impact.

Your David Bowie experience includes a short tube journey (guests just need a travel card or a form of contactless payment) into Central London (only 5 stops northbound on the Victoria Line) to arrive at Oxford Circus.

Mayfair & Soho: The Star's Stride

In Mayfair, we'll recreate the scene of one of the most famous and iconic album covers of all time. We'll also take in a wall plaque dedicated to a fictional character who became one of Bowie’s most memorable on-stage personas.

The vibrant buzz of Soho provides a treasure trove of Bowie-themed locations:

  • A street where he slept overnight in a van during his early struggles to become a star.
  • The clubs and pubs where he socialized and forged connections.
  • The famous street where he picked up the latest fashions that defined his iconic style.
  • A venue where he held a residency while striving for his breakthrough moment.
  • Studios where he recorded demos and, ultimately, his best-selling albums.

Throughout the tour, we'll make multiple presentation stops, enriching your experience with fascinating facts and amusing anecdotes. We'll enhance these stories with visual aids to jog your memory and, of course, some great music to remind you of the legend that was David Bowie.
