Close to Carnaby Street is another of London's most famous streets - stylish Savile Row. The street runs parallel to Regent Street and has long been a byword for elegant gentlemen’s tailoring. Many famous and historic figures have been dressed here such as Sir Winston Churchill, Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Prince Albert along with pop icons the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

The Beatles’ Apple Corporation headquarters were based at No 3 Savile Row in the late 1960s and the rooftop concert that featured in the Let It Be movie was filmed there.

Tucked away behind Hamleys you will find Carnaby Street, famous in Britain's swinging sixties where it was  the epicentre of chic fashion and culture. Icons from popular music and the entertainment industry such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, supermodel Twiggy and leading fashion designer Mary Quant could often be seen in the boutiques that graced the street.

Our Beatles London Walking Tour highlights this area and is an ideal way to find out more about the London of the 1960s.

At the stop where Regent Street divides the London “villages” of Mayfair and Soho you will be close to the world famous Hamleys toy store. There has been a Hamleys store in London since 1760 when William Hamley founded a toy shop called ‘Noah's Ark 'at High Holborn.

Attracting over 6 million visitors a year Hamleys has now become a major tourist attraction. No sightseeing tour of London would be complete without hopping off and taking in the seven floors of toys and games which continue to appeal to children and adults alike.

A two minute walk from Hamleys towards Oxford Circus will take you to one of London's most famous theatres, the London Palladium.

Built in 1910 the theatre came to national prominence in the mid 60's when the popular weekly television variety show Sunday Night at the London Palladium was broadcast live to an audience of millions. The theatre is now better known for staging some of London's most spectacular large scale musicals and these have included The King and I, Barnum, Oliver!, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Sound Of Music.
