About
The original rock n roll tour of Camden. Take a walk on the wild side through Camden's music history with Alison, Camden local and girl about town. I take you on a walking tour of the famous and infamous sights of Camden's Rock n Roll history. Some of the sights included in the tour are: *The pubs where Amy Winehouse hung out, played pool and performed. *The surprising place the punk band The Clash lived, rehearsed and worked. *The location of where Britpop started back in the 1990's. *The Offical Madness Pub. *The venue where The Door's gave their only U.K. performance. *An eyewitness story of the Great Fire of Camden! *Prince's love affair with Camden. From pub rock to punk rock, from ska to britpop and beyond.

We both really enjoyed the walking tour of Camden with Alison! Her musical knowledge is vast and all of the tidbits about the history of Camden were spot on. The tour is a good balance of key sights/spots and visiting few famous pubs. All done at a very relaxing pace. If you are a music lover I'd highly recommend it. It was one of the highlights of London for us! Thanks, Alison!

This interesting and affordable tour was expertly guided by Alison. Presenting heaps of interesting and not widely known facts, and occasional refreshing stops at historic pubs, she told us numerous stories about our favourite bands. I would definitely recommend it, even to people who think that they know Camden very well, such as myself, having lived and worked there for a number of years.

Fun tour with all kind of tidbits of famous and less famous music stars in this tour which gets you quite an appetite and thirst because you walk a lot. But it is fun to end up at the Dublin Castle where Madness had a lot of fun as well.
Camden is a wonderful area to visit as well, especially the Stables, food and shops, which are very colorful

Being a big Britpop fan, i found out on the web about these tours in Camden Town who visited the pubs, offices and other important landmarks of the Britpop era. I booked a tour right away and I am glad i did it.

Alison (the tour guide) knows a lot and has a few personal anecdotes, she knows people in the business and met a lot of the important artists (Graham Coxon, Amy Whinehouse, Jarvis Cocker, etc.) She is very knowledgable. She knows where the old and new places are, has interesting details to add to the stories, etc. She is also very nice and if you are a fan of Blur, Pulp, you will have a LOT to talk about. I had lots of question for her and she always had an interesting point of view. She just loves to talk about music.

Also, if there are places on the tour you want to see a little longer than others or places you want to ask her about in Camden Town, she is willing to take you there. She is always willing to go for a good pint too ! Definitely recommended !

Alison is a fantastic tour guide, she is funny and at the first sight extremely sympatic, also very knowledgeable about the Camden music scene.
She knows numerous stories about the roots and history of Britpop, Punk and several other music genres which she's telling very personal and passionated.
The tour brought us to cool places and bars like Electric Ballroom, Hawley Arms, Roundhouse, The good Mixer, Camden Market and last stop at the Dublin Castle.
I enjoyed it so much, it was a wonderful, unforgetable experience, Alisons Rock'nRoll Camden Walking Tour made me totally fall in love with Camden and was the highlight of our London-Trip!
Thank you so much, lovely Alison, hope to see you soon again!!

Get.On.This.Tour.Now.

You'll be accompanied by Alison, an American who fell in love with the neighborhood and decided to stay. She's knowledgeable and cheeky, giving you the lowdown on some of the most legendary rock shows and figures in Brit pop history. You'll also have a chance to visit some iconic pubs, and hear tales of unforgettable rock and roll nights.

Bravo Allison!

Me and my wife went to London a couple of weeks ago and one of the highlights of our trip was the tour of Camden with Alison, she really knows everything about this spectacular place, we learned a lot about the music scene and those cool places that you can find in here.

Thank you Alison for one of our best memories of London and we hope to see you very soon in the wonderful Camden!

I went on the Rock and Roll Camden Walking Tour in April, and I have a wonderful experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone! My guide Alison, was really informative and fun! I had been to Camden before, but this tour made me notice aspects of Camden I had never been aware of before. It was really exciting to hear the histories of places that I knew well like the Electric Ballroom, and learn about Brit Pop and its role in Camden. It is a great way to see a unique piece of London and learn about its cultural significance. Alison really knows her stuff! I am so glad I went on this tour I can't recommend it enough!
