Today we travel to Cambridge, the city where Pink Floyd took its very first steps. We start in the beautiful area around Grantchester Meadows before stopping outside David Gilmour’s house and continuing toward King’s College, which inspired the song Shine On You Crazy Diamond. At Mill Pond, we see one of the early gathering spots for the band, and along the way, we visit historical music locations and shops where the members bought instruments in their youth. 

After lunch, we continue to the school areas attended by both Waters and Barrett, and to their childhood homes. We also visit the house where Syd Barrett lived in the years after leaving Pink Floyd, as well as the location where the cover of the album Ummagumma was photographed. In the afternoon, we return to London to see additional Pink Floyd sites, including Alexandra Palace, Archway – where the band held early rehearsals – and Britannia Row Studios. A small surprise awaits, and Ivar shares stories from a life dedicated to music – always a personal and popular highlight. 

We begin the day in St John’s Wood and visit the area around Abbey Road Studios before continuing to Regent Street Polytechnic, where Pink Floyd played some of their early concerts. On the way, we see Advision Studios, the legendary Speakeasy, and the iconic UFO Club, the centre of London’s psychedelic scene. We then continue to Denmark Street, the city’s famous guitar street, before heading into Soho to see Syd Barrett’s former residence, his favourite cafés, the Marquee Club, Trident Studios, and Ronnie Scott’s. 

After lunch, we dive into one of the true highlights of the trip: vinyl hunting in Soho and Camden. These shops overflow with rare pressings, alternative editions, and pure nostalgia. The evening ends in Camden, home to a wide selection of pubs and restaurants buzzing with music and atmosphere. 

We start the day in Notting Hill, visiting All Saints – where Pink Floyd once served as the house band – and their early management offices, before stopping by Island Studios. After a relaxed lunch, we head to Camden, where the Roundhouse and the vibrant Camden Market offer culture, shopping, and musical delights. 

The rest of the day is more flexible. Choose between more vinyl hunting, exploring historic music pubs like Hawley Arms, Good Mixer, and Dublin Castle, or combining Notting Hill and Camden with a visit to the local Fuller’s Brewery in Chiswick. In the evening, we meet for a farewell dinner at one of London’s best gastropubs, The Harwood Arms in Fulham. Ivar wraps up the tour with reflections and stories.
