Abbey Road Crossing: Location of the Beatles Crosswalk and Abbey Road Studios

Join Sinead from Free Tours by Foot as she takes you to Abbey Road Studios and the famous Abbey Road Crossing, or the Beatles Crosswalk. MORE LONDON VIDEOS • London Walking Tours .
The crosswalk and studios are just a 5-min walk from the St. John's Wood Underground station and is very easy to reach.
In 1969, Abbey Road was changed forever when a photograph of the Beatles crossing the road. Since it just so happened to be outside the studio where the album was recorded, it was used as the cover for their album of the same name.
The crossing depicted on the album cover is what’s known as a zebra crossing.

    It’s William Shears, Campbell is not within the name . Billy Shears is introduced through the Magical Mystery Tour album. Just before Ringo sings “With a little help from my friends” All the rumors about dress was just that. The Sandals were taken off to cause a stir and to add to the rumors . Paul’s head was not decapitated The License plate was just that, people creating a rumor for humor nothing to do with Linda or anything else. Great video , thank you

Unfortunately, my work and my life do not always afford me enough free time to enjoy the things I like. I am a big fan, and I have recommended your channel to a couple of friends of mine. I am looking forward to visiting England again when all.of this covid stuff is done with. I've been to Britain 3 times in my life.. none of them recently, but, when I do come back, when I'm allowed.. ie. Covid, I'll be making all the fabulous walks for myself that your channel has been showing me. Thank you so much. I'm definitely a fan
