Musical Walking Tours

There are several ways of looking at our chat and song musical history walks. Think of them as a series of short concerts. Think of them as a walking tour. Think of them as an opportunity to sing in public if you feel like it. Think of them as really memorable events with ace tunes and chatter from Chris Roberts and Nigel of Bermondsey. 

At every stop there are short tales about the area and also a song about the location. Walks last between 90 minutes and two hours.  

Do the Strand! I beg your pardon we never promised you Covent Garden but on this all singing stroll you’ll find all kinds of delights from Jenny’s Hole to where you may find Barbara Streisand's underwear and why the bowler hat disappeared from the streets of London. There are also stories about a smelly lamp, a bunch of ghosts and a mad elephant.

 The Bermondsey Suite: The outcast dead and literary greats, medical oddities and pure collectors, London folktales and lost rivers make appearances in this stroll from Borough to the waterfront at Bermondsey. Sometimes it’s better not knowing what lies beneath the streets but if you are sure you’d rather find out then this is the time to do it.

Terrible Tides and deathly docks: Ratcliffe & Wapping: Political riots, staked murderers, escaped tigers, ghostly polar bears and the dreaded witch of Wapping all feature in this two hour amble round E1. There are also well hung pirates, hanging judges and other Thameside shocks around the old docks and back streets of one of London’s spikier boroughs.

Bloomsbury: Sounds of the suburb: A tour of London's first suburb featuring strange ghosts, substance abuse, literary greats and violent street disorder. We cannot of course guarantee the street disorder or indeed ghosts actually appearing but the songs and stories about them will. We shall naturally mention Bloomsbury’s many famous residents as well as a culinary history that sees top national restaurant chains being set up a few yards from each other in the south of the area.
