Discover the lives of Handel, Haydn, JC Bach, Mozart, and Chopin on a walking tour of Mayfair, Soho, and St. James's. Discover what enticed these famous composers to the greatest city of its time!
Meet your guide at Bond Street Station and get an introduction to musical London and life in the largest and richest city in the world in the 1700s. From there, walk to the Handel House Museum, the home of a German immigrant who won the heart and souls of royalty and the entire nation, whose music is still popular today.
Walk through Mayfair and learn about the 18th-century music scene. See Haydn's residence and hear about his London symphonies. Learn about how he wrote some of his finest music and made a fortune in just 2 summers.
In contrast, hear about JS Bach, one of Johann Sebastian Bach's 13 children, who tried to ride this gravy train but ended up dying in poverty.
Walk through Soho and see where the boy genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived, but due to the fickle and capricious nature of the London music-going audience, was forced to leave London with his family practically penniless.
End your tour at Chopin's final London residence.
