Aidin is a great guide. Plenty of comedy and social commentary. He really connected the neighborhood to the music. I enjoyed the entire tour and would go again with friends. If you love the Clash then this is a must.
Joe would approve!

Aidan was a great guide, with casts depths of knowledge, some of it personal. And his approach and vibe were wonderfully authentic and consistent with the punk nature of the subject matter. I’ll come back and do it again!
Cultural/economic climate that spawned Joe Strummer/The Clash
James_B, Oct 2022
The walking tour exceeded our expectations. To be clear, the tour focuses on the social, cultural, and economic climate that Joe Strummer lived in and was influenced by in the early to mid 1970s in the Ladbroke area of London. The squatter movement--or rather the ability to live in abandoned homes in the Ladbroke area of London at that time--was a critical factor in bringing together the people and culture that helped to spawn and nuture the UK punk movement. The tour guide, Aidan, was energetic, fun, and a well informed local. In other words, a good guide and narrator. He also delivers a number of personal anecdotes, which I found worthwhile, but if you are only interested in hearing more about the Clash/Strummer, you may find these stories extraneous. There was also a significant segment of the tour about Joe Stummer and the 101ers (the band Strummer was in before the Clash). A shorter version of the 101ers history/tour would have been wlecomed by my group (5 friends who are all Clash/Strummer fans). But overall, I recommend the tour. The narrative involves frequent use of salty/colorful language, not suited for children. Not that we considered bringing kids on the tour, but a heads-up just in case. An unexpected plus was interacting with some of the other people on the tour. Well worth the time and cost.
