Road Studios and the famous Abbey Road crossing

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.
