'll stay in London for about a week in early November. This is my first visit to UK. I was wondering if you could recommend any stones related sights worthy of visiting. I'll stay in a hotel next to Hyde Park.

You can visit Bill Wyman's Restaurant Sticky Fingers. They've got some nice Stones stuff on the walls. The food is not that bad either.

For an RS fan, no trip to London can be complete without visiting Dartford, the childhood hometown of Messrs Jagger and Richards. It's a town you won't forget quickly

I was told that the Sticky Fingers merchandise on the walls had changed. Is it still there? I checked their web site now, and almost went mad. Wherever I go there they play Like A Rolling Stone - not by the Stones - by the way that one was covered way after Bill left - but the original I suppose. Still, I hate it when they fore music into my ears without me asking about it. Annoying web site design...

There is a shop called Its only Rock and Roll in Baker Street that sells memorabilia not just Stones stuff but worth a look if you are in the area.

Wow Matt, those photos are pretty spectacular!
That second one, is there an "official" Mobile Recording Studio jacket or something there? Have any back story on that or a better photo?
Sure is some kool stuff there, thanks for sharing!

As for London sites, you might still be able to go out on Eel Pie Island and see something still standing from those days, I believe Olympic Studio might still be there although under a different name, of course Wymans ex restaurant, no idea if anything has changed there from it being shut down. Its been quite a while since I been there last so my info might be too old.

Thanks for the info on the mobile studio, Matt, I have thought about building a scale model of it at some point, but would need to have some photos of the interior. Of course, then I would have to donate it to you for your museum. Have done similar before. Donated this one to Roger Steffens Reggae Archive:

It's a bit like The Wick at Richmond and Mick and Jerry's place just down the road more or less.
Not very likely you're gonna see Pete, or Jerry unless they are walking the dogs in Richmond Park.
