Unsurprisingly he seemed genuinely shocked when he turned around to find the actual Rolling Stones standing in front of him.

Afterward, Alex said: "It's going to sound silly but for a moment I thought I was a member of the Rolling Stones. It's not every day you get to meet your idols."

Discussing the amazing trip, VisitLondon.com chief marketing and communications officer Chris Gottlieb said: "Alex's Rolling Stones tour of London shows how the city is steeped in the history of one of the world's greatest rock bands."Watch the video and let us know your thoughts in the comments box below.
