Overview

Conceived at the Ealing Club in the spring of 1962, The Rolling Stones ‘kicked-off’ their career at the Station Hotel, Richmond on Sunday 24th February 1963

Travel back to their birthplace and visit the locations in West London where they performed regularly between 1962 and 1964.

The tour takes you past their homes and haunts in Chelsea and the venues where they played and hung-out. You’ll visit Olympic Studios, where they recorded six consecutive albums and the church hall location in Richmond where the group performed to a dozen or so fans in various line-ups before securing their first weekly residency at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond.

You’ll see where Mick and Ronnie lived more recently and the spectacular views they enjoyed from the top of Richmond Hill, before the tour ends at Richmond Station with fast and frequent services back to all parts of London and Windsor.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
