We're still collecting donations
On the 30th September 2020 we'd raised £4,150 with 49 supporters in 46 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Unfortunately, the current COVID-19 pandemic has brought a complete halt to my business - but I want to restart with a bang :>)

On the 30th September 2020 we'd raised £4,150 with 49 supporters in 46 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
I will invest any extra money raised in developing new tour ideas.
I am a Beatles Tour guide in London - something I have been doing full time for the nearly 30 years. I also wrote the book, guide to the Beatles London.
I have been a Beatles fan since I was 13 years old - my passion is also my living. In that time I've been lucky enough to meet 3 of the Beatles. This is me with Paul McCartney.
Last year, I organised the event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road for the famous album cover photo. Well over 1000 people turned up! The event was on the front page of the 'Guardian' newspaper, and was on TV around the world.
For more on my tours please see https://beatlesinlondon.com/
Unfortunately the current crisis has meant I can't do tours on the street. But I will be back, better than ever. If you would like to come on a future tour, it would be great if you could pay now to tide me over until this crisis ends.
In the meantime - I am doing virtual tours which I'm posting on my website and facebook page https://www.facebook.com/richard.porter.5815
I need to raise money to improve my marketing of my tours and to purchase new equipement - for instance, I would like to buy a 365 degrees camera to use on virtual tours.
Thank you for your help! I look forward to meeting you on a tour in the not too distant future :>)
all the best
Richard Porter
