Your Experience

Morning Tour

Have a rocking start to the day at Hard Rock Hotel London – the first of its kind in the UK, which pays tribute to former tenants the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, and Buddy Holly. See a host of memorabilia like Freddie Mercury’s Kirkwood teenage piano, Jimi Hendrix’s flamboyant cape, Eric Clapton’s jacket, and Ozzy’s stage outfit. Also, browse the rock shop within the hotel for exclusive clothing and signature items. You will then hop on a comfortable coach and traverse the quaint back streets of Mayfair. On the way, you’ll come across properties where Jimi Hendrix resided or where The Bee Gees composed their music or even the doorway to David Bowie’s most famous alter-ego. You will then head to The Vault - London’s only rock n’ roll museum - for a VIP experience through a musical paradise. Your tour will conclude with a delightful 2-course meal at Hard Rock Cafe on Old Park Lane - not just any, but the first café to have kickstarted the chain, and where rockstars got together for a good time. Enjoy classic favorites as you admire the general splendor including rock decor like copies of Melody Maker circa 1971, an original poster for The WHO, and Eric Clapton’s red Fender Leader II guitar.

Afternoon Tour

Poignant reflections and rocking discoveries await you on this afternoon tour. Begin at The Vault where you’ll uncover real treasures and rock memorabilia, before visiting Harry Nilsson’s former flat which also served as a farewell setting to two revered personalities: Cass Eliot of the Mamas and Papas and the unrivaled Keith Moon. At Garden Lodge, you’ll see where Freddie Mercury lived. Characterized by his flamboyant stage presence and four-octave vocal range, this setting will provide context to much of his life. After this, rock enthusiasts can participate in a rock trivia quiz conducted by Rita Gilligan – Hard Rock’s original Rock n’ Roll waitress. After a much-awaited recreation of the legendary walk across the Abbey Road crossing, you will head to Hard Rock Cafe in Picaddily. Doubled with the eclectic vibe of Piccadilly Circus and the rock and roll lifestyle of the Hard Rock brand, you will enjoy the perfect ending to your rock n’ roll journey. See original archives and collectibles relating to artists from Freddie Mercury and David Bowie to Shakira and Nicki Minaj. Call it a day after browsing through the largest Rock Shop in the world.
