From early folk-blues sessions with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee to John Mayall, Alexis Korner and The Yardbirds, it became a hub for UK blues-rock.

Olympic Studios - CinemaOriginally a cinema, Barnes’ Olympic Studios became a rock landmark in 1966. The Rolling Stones recorded six classic albums here with producer Jimmy Miller, rivalling Abbey Road and attracting The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Bowie and more. Mick Jagger helped design its second studio and Jean-Luc Godard filmed “Sympathy for the Devil” during sessions in 1968. Myths of fires and lipstick graffiti endure. Today Olympic combines cinema and recording facilities, preserving its legendary musical legacy.

Richmond-upon-ThamesTrace the Rolling Stones’ rise on this immersive Richmond and Twickenham tour. Begin at the Crawdaddy Club in the Station Hotel, where Giorgio Gomelsky gave the band its first residency and the Beatles handed them “I Wanna Be Your Man”. Cross to the Richmond Athletic Ground, scene of their first major festival, then over the footbridge to Eel Pie Island, a raucous hotel that hosted their legendary 1963 residency and visiting blues greats. Visit Twickenham Film Studios where they shot early TV promos and mixed Ladies and Gentlemen, and see Twickenham Stadium, site of their 2003 and 2018 homecoming shows. Along the way you’ll hear about the Bull’s Head blues jams, the houses on Richmond Hill where Jagger, Richards and Wood lived and wrote songs, and myths of fires, lipstick graffiti and sailor suits. Like the Cavern for the Beatles, these spots form the cradle of the Stones’ sound, image and legend.
