London Freddie Mercury & Queen Kensington Walking Tour

How four students became rock legends:
walk through Queen's Kensington

Meet your guide outside Daquise in South Kensington to start the tour. As you walk the streets of Kensington together, your guide tells the story of Queen, from how the band members met to how they stole the show at Live Aid in 1985.

Visit Imperial College and the Royal Albert Hall

Hear about Brian May's time at Imperial College, then head to the Beit Quadrangle, where Queen played their first London gig in 1970. Next, pass the Royal Albert Hall, where Freddie starred in the Fashion Aid show.

Kensington Market, BIBA and Freddie and Mary's first home

Explore the Kensington Market area, where Freddie and Roger ran a stall. It is also linked to the story of Freddie once measuring David Bowie's feet. You will also see BIBA, the clothing store where Mary worked, and the flat where Freddie and Mary first lived together.

Look back on Freddie's life at Garden Lodge

Finally, head to Garden Lodge, Freddie Mercury's London home, and hear about his parties and his untimely death as the tour comes to an end. The tour ends at Logan Place, not at the starting point.
