Taking place on the 29th, 30th and 31st of this month the Tally Ho! cycle tours will take in the capital's most iconic filming sites where The Lavender Hill Mob, Hue & Cry, and Passport to Pimlico were filmed.

The 1920s themed classically British cycle tour will include a traditional bicycle from that era as well as commentary from a British Cinema expert and a Tally Ho! tour leader. Each tour will focus on one particular film and the locations made famous from them.

As if that wasn't enough at the end of each tour a special screening of the Ealing Studio classics will be shown at Vintage at Southbank Centre. The Southbank Centre is the port of call for the start and end of each tour, and the whole of that weekend will be awash with food, fashion, dance, art, music and film from the 1920s right through to the 1980s.
