Charles Darwin
The man who made the most profound discovery of all - that nature is entirely indifferent to Mankind. His theories are still controversial. Visit his London home, nominated for World Heritage Site status. Visit his grave, next door to Newton's.
Beatles Walking Tour
 They invented the concept of the rock band: four boyhood friends interdependent on each other.
The Beatles were incredible lucky with their timing, arriving in the US just as Americans sought diversion from Kennedy’s assassination.
Between 1962 and 1970, over a career spanning 40 individual releases – singles, albums and EPs – they revolutionised pop music. Of Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the ten greatest rock albums, four are by the Beatles with Sgt Pepper as No 1.
This walk takes in the two ‘Beatles’ phases – pre marijuana and post marijuana – and makes sense of a host of great characters – Linda, Brian, Jane, Yoko, George Martin, Pattie, the Maharishi Maresh Yogi, Allen Kline, Cynthia and Michael Jackson.
Starts St John’s Wood, ends Piccadilly Circus. Involves tube travel.
Standard charge £120, no limit on numbers – though with groups preferably no larger than 30.
Isaac Newton
The man who invented optimism. He showed there was more to life than just passing through 'corruption' to 'perfection' in the afterlife. His tomb is featured in the movie The Da Vinci Code. But what exactly was he doing under that apple tree?
Elizabeth David and Swinging London
The Chelsea few know. The Cadogan Estate, Sloane Square and Ebury Shopping Village. A foodie’s walk through the eyes of the great 1960's food and cookery writer Elizabeth David, guru to the likes of Nigella, Jamie or Gordon.
