Quite surreal seeing the road and crossing first-hand after seeing it on that famous album cover all these years! We visited the road in the early afternoon and although there were a number of people on either side of the road, there was a lovely air of respect as people took their time taking photos, videos and posing on the crossing 'Beatles-style'. Drivers coming to the area seem to be very understanding of what takes place there on a daily basis and patiently wait whilst photos are taken but not all of them are so do expect some beeping of horns from one or two! We stood at the wall outside the Abbey Road Studios for a few minutes and took in the history and messages left on the white walls, which I can only assume are painted over every so often as a lot were 'modernly' written. We then discovered the Abbey Road shop just to the right of the studios which is well worth a visit and full of memorabilia for The Beatles and other bands who are known for recording at the Abbey Road Studios. Expect to pay £7 for an Abbey Road road sign magnet though!

We had the opportunity to do a tour inside Abbey Road and it was a dream come true. It was amazing to be in the studio where The Beatles recording most of their best work and learn about the history and importance of the studio. If you get the chance, don't miss it. Absolutely amazing!!

A very popular destination for Beatles fans. Great to do the walk across the zebra crossing and then watch the crowds attempt to get the perfect picture. Everyone was helping everyone else with pictures so a very friendly atmosphere. A very busy street so lots of traffic.

Abbey Road is made famous by the Beatles who recorded an album in the famous studio which happens to be located on Abbey Road. One wonders if they had recorded the album in a different location if then the album cover would have been different? This in turn would have returned Abbey Road to just another road in London. Instead it has become a pilgrimage for music fans from all over the world. Many of whom want to walk across the famous crossing. The 189 bus to Brent Cross Shopping Centre goes along Abbey Road and the St Johns Wood tube station is quite close by as well. Certainly worth checking out if you are a music fan and in the area.

Despite jubilee line being closed which made our trip out more challenging we loved it . Took a while to get our shot replicating the famous walk but fun doing it . Most were there for the same reason so was entertaining to see the various attempts much to the annoyance of the traffic .

This was such a cool experience! You need to have a photo plan though because it is hard to get a great shot as it is a busy road. I would go back and take the walk again for a better photo. If you are a Beatles fan, it is a must if you are in London! Abbey Road studios is cool to see too, if only from the outside. Surreal!

A quick stop if you have 30 minutes to kill. Wouldn’t go out of your way to go there. Can only see the outside of the building through a gate and do the ceremonial walk across Abbey Road and take pictures. Then you keep getting asked to visit the gift shop. Unless you’re a big Beatles fan it’s probably something you can skip.
