The Beatles - In My Life Walk

Tuesdays at 11.20 am
Saturdays at 11.20 am
from Marylebone Underground

The tour on Saturday August 8th 2009 will start at 9.20am - and cross Abbey Road 40 Years to the Minute since the Beatles! For more details of our day of celebrations please click here


"There are places I'll remember all my life", sang the Beatles in one of their most evocative songs. Many of those places are in the "London Town" of this walk.

  • So get back with Richard to the place where the opening scenes for A Hard Day's Night were filmed;
  • the restaurant featured in Help!,
  • the former Apple Shop which had the psychedelic mural painted on the wall;
  • the registry office where two of the Beatles were married,
  • the apartment immortalised by Ringo, John and Yoko where the infamous 'Two Virgins' picture was taken.
  • We'll also see the house where Paul lived with Jane Asher. Those were the days ... for it was in that house that John and Paul wrote I Want To Hold Your Hand.
  • And for a grand finale - the legendary Abbey Road studios and crosswalk
  • The tour ends at the Beatles Coffee Shop, where you can buy a range of Beatles souvenirs including The Guide to the Beatles London.

Special Abbey Road Anniversary Tour

Saturday August 8th at 9.20am from Marylebone Station

On August 8th 1969 The Beatles crossed the pedestrian crossing by Abbey Road Studios to pose for pictures for the front cover of their new album. Only six pictures were taken in all, and the photo shoot lasted for 10 minutes. Since then millions of people have posed on the crossing to recreate this iconic photo.

On Saturday August 8th the tour will cross Abbey Road exactly 40 years TO THE MINUTE since the Beatles! We expect some Beatles related celebs to be at Abbey Road for the event.

After the tour many Beatles fans will be going to a nearby restaurant to celebrate.

There is no need to book for the tour, but to give us an idea of how many people to expect on the tour, please email me to let me know if you are coming. Also if you would like to come to the restaurant please let me know.

The anniversary will also be celebrated at the Beatles Coffee Shop, which is only five minutes walk away from the famous crossing.

Please note the 11.20 tour will not go ahead that day.

Walking with Richard - a song about this tour!

A while ago a musician called Ed McKendry came on my tour - and wrote a song about it! His band The Difference - which is the corporate band of 'Air Products' in the USA, recorded the song on their CD 'Songs I Always Wanted to do'. Below are the lyrics of the song, printed by kind permission of Ed:

Walking with Richard
Words and music: Ed McKendry
Performed by: The Difference

He traveled alone, to Marylebone, hey-hey
He's walking with Richard today
Little bit o' rain won't turn him away, hey-hey
He's walking with Richard today

Chorus
Saturday in London town
He's a long way from home
He's taking the tour to see the fab four, hey-hey
He's walking with Richard today

Collarless suit, black Beatle boots, oh-yeah
He's making pretend today
He'll cross Abbey Road like numbers untold, oh-yeah
He's walking with Richard today

 

The British Music Experience

In the spring of 2009 a new attraction opened in London called the British Music Experience. It is a permanent exhibition at the O2 Centre - one of London's top music venues. There is much Beatles content in the exhibition, along with all the other British music legends.

It is highly recommended - to find out more check out their website at http://www.britishmusicexperience.com/

If you have any questions about the tour or how to get to the meeting points etc., email Richard
