From the 60s onwards, entire generations have grown up listening to Beatles, the group that more than any other has changed the history of music. The place where the signs of the past are most visible is Liverpool, their city of origin, but the baronets were also very close to London.
In particular, there is a street where, even today after many years, fans and tourists go to photograph the legendary pedestrian crossings immortalized in the famous album cover: Abbey Road.
Era on August 8, 1969 when the Beatles decided to choose precisely that path, outside the EMI recording studios where they were recording their penultimate album, to get photographed by Iain McMillan. The road was not very busy because it was about noon and it was the summer period and it was therefore not very difficult for the photographer to take the five photos, among which he then chose the one that became an icon and a symbol of an era.
Now the situation is a little different. If you too want to be portrayed in the same pose, I suggest you go a little early in the morning and on the weekend, when the city is still calm, the traffic is less chaotic and maybe you manage not to risk your photographer's life.
To reach Abbey Road you can take thebus 139 or 189, both of which also pass through Oxford Street, one of the busiest and most traveled by any tourist passing by London, or you can arrive by subway, the Jubilee line, getting off at St John's Wood stop.
Another curiosity: on the Abbey Road Studios fence there is a webcam which records, in real time, the situation on the road and is visible from their website, at your disposal if you want to send greetings home live.
