Abbey Road – At Last

Tweet

It has taken me the best part of 20 years, but I finally got around to visiting Abbey Road, of Beatles fame. The album, and original photograph, date from 1969 and the publication made this zebra crossing world famous. Some friends, of a friend in LA, were visiting and wanted a tour of music locations in London. This meant wandering around Soho, on the hottest day of the year… until Saturday! Never has an orange juice in a pub been so welcome. I guess the motorists are fairly used to the constant stopping and starting as people pose on the crossing. The Abbey Road sign on the back of the album was stolen a long time ago. The one in the photo is higher up and pretty safe. The Abbey Road studios are the next building along, from the crossing. I took a photo, but all I got was a fuzzy shot of the pavement and road.
