I heard the album the second day it was out - a classmate from school told me his older brother bought the album and invited a few of us over to hear it for the first time - its not like today - where you could hear it before its release - so i did not know what to expect -- i was literally mesmerized by each song as the album played and i found myself being drawn closer and closer to the speaker of the record player - the sounds were so rich, so full, cinematic in scope - it was breath taking from the very first listen - i have never forgotten how i felt when i heard it that day for the first time. Amazing how i forgot most of my life's experiences - but a handful still resonate with me and this was one of them. Long live THE BEATLES !
Cool, I remember when Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti” came out in ‘75, my friends, and I ran home after school to hear it in its entirety on K94 fm in Virginia Bch. Remember when they played uninterrupted albums on fm? Anyway…Great story.

My husband and I were there in '96. We also were able to walk right into the studio! What a thrill Then a secretary very politely said we had to leave,. She gave me a magic marker to leave a message on the wall. I still have it. Plus many pics and great memories of Abbey Road +the zebra crossing. It was so accessible back then. A cabbie even stopped and took our picture crossing. What a blast!
@@lisaparsons4124I was in there in August, they did two weekends where it was opened in the evenings and two researchers gave a presentation on the history. In Studio 2.
I would have love to walk across the world's most FAMOUS street of all time.before I pass on,I would love to do that.That's definitely going to be on my bucket list.
On May 23, 2024 at 1:25 pm I had flown from Chicago to Manchester, took a train to London, checked into my hotel 1.5 miles away from Abbey Road, and at 1:25 pm got my picture. I'm 72 yrs old and made this journey my only bucket list item. Saved for a year out of social security money and finally made it. You can, too. Make a plan, stick to it and you'll be there. It was the most thrilling thing I had done since childhood. You will not regret it.
A lot of people tend to forget that Abbey Road studios was originally named EMI Studios, they changed their name to Abbey Road studios after the album was released :)
I was just there this past March 2022. It was not busy because tourist season had not started. We waited until a few people crossed and took pictures and then our guide took a picture of us crossing. Very exciting since I am such a huge Beatles fan. We also went to the Abby Studios Beatles shop. But the best Beatles shop is in London on Baker St. I bought a bunch of nice souvenirs there. Also went to the train station were they filmed A Hard Days Night. That was a very special day.
It is my dream to someday visit London and Liverpool to see the Beatles related sites. I don’t know if it will ever happen, so this video is the next best thing to visiting the crosswalk. Thanks for posting!
I did the Liverpool Beatles tour thing a few years ago, it really was Very Very good, get the bus tour around many sites then end up in the Cavern for some live music .. was great really
if you go make sure its August Bank Holiday weekend. Matthew Street is crammed with live bands and a great atmosphere. Just be aware that the Cavern has been rebuilt and is not the original one.
I started work in 1969 round the corner in hall Road so I used to cross the crossing everyday. I never knew about the studio being there, and I love The Beatles!! Thank yuou so much.🤗❤
I've walked Abbey rd twice, one in early 2000s and then In 2017 with my wife and 2 sons. All the way from wee New Zealand . Love it, love standing outside the studio and the shop is great too
In 1946, there was a 6 ft wall between the In and Out gateways of the studios, and the bus stop was situated between two. My mother used to drag me onto the 53 or 153 bus, aided my a friendly commissionaire employed by studios, to take me to kindergarten school in Boundary Road. I don’t think there was a zebra crossing in those days, maybe just a studied crossing? and of course before the Beatles and graffiti!
Just returned from a business trip to London (October of '22) and asked my cab driver to stop off at Abbey Road on the way to Heathrow. He warned me in advance that the street was now blocked off to vehicular traffic, but that he could stop just before the barrier and I could walk past the building to get a souvenir snap. Driver kindly offered to take a photo of me in the cross-walk (where folks were already lined up to take turns at 10 a.m.) but I told him just seeing the building was all the pilgrimage necessary. Was it worth it to run up the meter on the cab for an extra ten minutes? You bet it was!! A must for a Beatle fan, if you are in London.
This was great, you can certainly see the changes through the prism of time, much of the trees that seem so prominent on the Abbey Road album have since been taken down, thanks so much for the tour guide..
Its amazing how unassuming it all is you can walk by the studio every day of your life and never even notice it and the crossing is just another crossing.
Did it in March ‘84. We planned to take a tour of the studio that day, but we’re informed that tours were canceled, as Duran Duran were recording. There was no shop back then, however the security guy gave me about 7 pages of Abbey Road stationary. I gave several away to friends, but still have two sheets stuffed in my Beatles Anthology book. By the way, that is one busy intersection. Be careful if you ever make a pilgrimage there. I became a Beatles fan in ‘68, when I was 6.
Here in Liverpool, I pass various places where the fabs used to play like Litherland town hall (now an NHS medical walk in centre) but still get the vibes I imagine one would get walking that iconic crossing. Thanks for the video I do intend on going to London hopefully very soon and will visit Abbey Road..😎😎👍Beatles 4Ever YNWA
Bought the album when I was 14, half a century ago. Though a Londoner, have never been there so the video leading up to the Actual Crossing was enlightening... Signs of the times 1969: VW beetle, park on the kerb, no unsightly yellow lines or zig-zags. More trees. Nowadays: graffiti, vans everywhere, constant traffic, selfie-sticks. Always, the Crossing and Abbey Road. 👣
This is a beautiful vid and I thank you so much. Was actually there summer of 2019 and surprisingly, most of the north of London like the Zoo...Abbey Road...roundabout next to it...all look very much as they did summer of 1969 when the famous pics were taken. Apartment building on the left is freshened up and many of the trees and shrubs gone but most all else the same.
You were lucky, I was there before pandemic and it is crazy, there are so many people standing on the sidewalks waiting and trying to cross and take a picture and it is right on a big intersection which, at least me, did not know it existed. I always thought it was a small street in between buildings. So many people cross that they have to re-paint the crossing several times a year. Nice!
A Walk across a crossing !! 🙂 That was a good jaunt !! Very interesting, but was surprised at the lack of traffic - thought there would be more. Was it a Sunday? 🤔 Keep em coming Mr Walk 👍✔💯
I was lucky enough to attend an "openday" at the Studios in the 1980's before they had some work done internally. Actually sat in the studios The Beatles used.
I was surprised to see the famous entrance to Abby Road Studios behind a fence and parking lot. I got the impression from clips and documentaries that the entrance is street level. The famous clip of George pulling up to the entrance in his Mercedes and parking there on the street is actually George in the parking lot. I never knew. Amazing after all "Those years ago".
I was there Feb of 84. Nice neat clean no graffitynobody cared about the crosswalk. The gate to Abbey Road was operand the door. I strolled up to it and went inside.I got shown around . It was awesome.
Very nice video...You said previously that you captured this with an IPHONE 13 and nothing else. I can't see anything during daylight on the phone I use (Samsung Note - too dark and lots of reflections) Are the IPHONES much better?
Thanks for this brilliant video. I like how steady it is as you walk. I wondered if this was shot using your iphone 12 Pro Max, GoPro Hero 9 or the Osmo Pocket 2? I want to upgrade and wondered what you would recommend? Thank you for any assistance.
Que increíble que un simple cruce de los que hay millones en el mundo, haya quedado para siempre como detenido en el tiempo y causando tanta fascinación!😊😊😊
I remember hearing tracks being played in the Marquee Club Wardour Street 1969 before it was officially released while we were waiting for Blodwyn Pig to come on and play,anyone else there that nite
...also I remember in the eighties people from all over Europe would drive there VW beetles to England and drive to Abbey road just to park it where the one on the album is parked!!
I must have crossed on those zebras a million times, and another million cursed the tourists when driving, I used to live 10 minutes walk from it. God knows how many licks of paint on those walls over the years, actually it looked quite clean on the footage. To get the perfect angle/point of view for the iconic picture you have to step almost in the middle of the road, the original was taken extremely early in the morning on a long British summer day. The replica picture contest was definitely won by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, all bare naked just wearing a white sock over their bits.
I like your concept. I’ am surprised the road ‘ s not full of people. Plants around tell me it was in the early spring (march / April) but which day ? What Time?
I live in a Street in Hamburg wich the Beatles must have crossed hundreds of times in real life every evening on the way to their gigs when they were unknown.
What made me laugh is that drivers can be very impatient with all the fans making pilgrimages to Abbey Road. If you know what's going on eight days a week and you have to be somewhere in a jiffy... take another route. :-))
We *JUST got back from London and this was a mistake see. We went twice. My wife didn’t see the point. I get it. The art museum. 😂. We did this exact walk. This is amazing! Love the background music too. Start recording these in Vision Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro records it. It will be to the viewer like they are there! Yes, brand new and in its infancy. Start now. In a few years, you’ll have an awesome library. 😊
Walked across barefoot back in 2016. Happy I got to cross off a bucket list item 🙂. Unfortunately it looks like they painted over my name to the right of the Studio gate.

Zebra has always been white but the colour of the tarmac road may have changed. Also the design of the crossing with the addition of zig zag lines is different from the photo. The purpose of the zig zag lines is to prevent parking.
I've " walked" it a couple of times now ,it just feels weird that your walking on exectly the same steps as four of the most famous people of all time.
What does the other side of the Abbey Road Studios look like? I’m trying to picture where they were when they recorded on the rooftop and it doesn’t look familiar from this angle….??🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but that isn't the same crossing that they walked across in 1969. It was moved/repainted in the early 80s as part of Traffic Maintenance work. The original zebra crossing was outside no.3 Abbey Road,so for a truly authentic Beatles experience might I suggest dodging the traffic outside there!
I'm amazed at the number of people in the comments saying the same thing, when it's obvious by comparing photos that the crossing has not moved. Certainly it's been repainted many times, so it might have shifted by a few inches back and forth, but it's still where it was in 1969. I can point you to a book with a photo of the crossing taken in 1989 from the same vantage point as the album cover that clearly shows it's where it was then and where it is today.
There is a well-known guy, Richard Porter, who has been a tour guide there for years and recently made a video, explaining that the crosswalk is in the same place. I don't know and it seems secondary to me.
It’s a crosswalk. Just like any other. The only thing are trying to live out there fantasy of being as close as they can to the guys. What ever makes them happy.
Not a crossing. THE crossing. A symbol of modern popular culture. The Beatles leave their legendary recording studio, will not return for another record and at the same time end the spectacular 1960s. Also, the crosswalk cover contains "evidence" of the "Paul is dead" legend. A conspiracy theory about which people still make long RUclips videos today... I interpret the walk, that millions of people have reenacted over the past few decades, as a kind of note of thanks for the "Fab Four" and their work. In addition, it seems to be great fun for many, to position themselves on the crossing, preferably in a row of four. And not a few make their own versions, show a stunt, walk particularly conspicuously, lie down, jump, whatever. One also sometimes see people, who just got married or people in special clothes. All of this has somehow developed into its own art form, which can be very entertaining.
No one but the Beatles that could make a simple walk across a street so Historic, thank you for the video
Yes the Beatles made a crossing famous Abby road crossing 😊
Indeed
Marilyn Monroe did one better - the photo of her in the white dress standing on the subway grate!
@@TAYLORFAN50 but where is that subway grate

no one can imitate the Beatles ... they will remain forever in history and in my heart ❤

Would like to go to and cross it😁
I would have done exactly the same!
There's a webcam on the crossing which I occasionally watch and it's amazing the amount of tourists that take photos and videos.
Yes it's mad how busy it gets isn't it!
Yeah I've seen it its cool
The webcam is used by the owner of a small record store just around the corner. I met the dude. Really cool guy.

Esto me dice que debo volver a cruzar esa calle una vez mas en mi vida . Muy lindo video
Always thought the road was wider until I went there. Beautiful part of London as well.
Used to be free access back in the day in 1996 - I even managed to get inside and talk to people at the reception.... )

I made my first crossing in November of 1993 and again in October 1994. I'm from Middletown, Pennsylvania, USA. Aaahhhhhh....precious memories...!!

Its amazing how unassuming it all is you can walk by the studio every day of your life and never even notice it and the crossing is just another crossing.
So true!
I think all the graffiti gets your attention.You're right, you can walk by it and never even notice it.
Very much enjoyed, fantastic and yes so simple
Thank you!
I did it in 1999, was a huge thrill.. 3 of my most iconic places I have now been to are this , Strawberry Fields and the Kennedy assassination site
i've been over that crossing so many times whilst driving around London sometimes never realising i was on it! must visit it properly sometime.
A great video of the famous Abby road crossing,in England, would love to cross that street 😊❣️
Thank you!

Done that and must say although it is just a normal zebra crossing it did feel special walking across it. The shop also has some magic memorabilia.

I heard ‘Oh Darling’ on the radio & then rushed out the door to the big record store in the city!
❤️❤️❤️
Wasn't the zebra yellow back then? It looked more colourful in d old photo. But still, so great to see the famous crossing.
It may have moved up the road slightly too since the original photo

Zebra has always been white but the colour of the tarmac road may have changed. Also the design of the crossing with the addition of zig zag lines is different from the photo. The purpose of the zig zag lines is to prevent parking.
I've " walked" it a couple of times now ,it just feels weird that your walking on exectly the same steps as four of the most famous people of all time.
Nice beautiful day!
Definitely!
What does the other side of the Abbey Road Studios look like? I’m trying to picture where they were when they recorded on the rooftop and it doesn’t look familiar from this angle….??🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
John....The Beatles played their last gig on the rooftop of 3 Savile Row ....way back on the 30th January 1969.....✌🏻💙
@@frankhornby6873 Oh ok. Thank you for that!
What a difference from the original pic of the beatles, there were more trees. And that building wasn't there.
Neat how they've put the words LOOK RIGHT at the crossing. We Americans look left, right, then left again without even thinking about it..
Brits do to to be fair
oui, faut transporter le 'crossing" to the museum! let it be!
ha ha very good!

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but that isn't the same crossing that they walked across in 1969. It was moved/repainted in the early 80s as part of Traffic Maintenance work. The original zebra crossing was outside no.3 Abbey Road,so for a truly authentic Beatles experience might I suggest dodging the traffic outside there!
I'm amazed at the number of people in the comments saying the same thing, when it's obvious by comparing photos that the crossing has not moved. Certainly it's been repainted many times, so it might have shifted by a few inches back and forth, but it's still where it was in 1969. I can point you to a book with a photo of the crossing taken in 1989 from the same vantage point as the album cover that clearly shows it's where it was then and where it is today.
There is a well-known guy, Richard Porter, who has been a tour guide there for years and recently made a video, explaining that the crosswalk is in the same place. I don't know and it seems secondary to me.
That's a myth isn't it?
I would imagine its much like crossing any other crosswalk? to verify I went down to the strip and crossed a few, yup, same same
Я тоже был здесь в 2019 и 2020годах.Великая группа,великое место!
И как именно получилось быть ?
Получилось величины Beatles достичь
или хотя бы их успех повторить ?
It’s a crosswalk. Just like any other. The only thing are trying to live out there fantasy of being as close as they can to the guys. What ever makes them happy.
It’s ok to have fun in life 👍
Not a crossing. THE crossing. A symbol of modern popular culture. The Beatles leave their legendary recording studio, will not return for another record and at the same time end the spectacular 1960s. Also, the crosswalk cover contains "evidence" of the "Paul is dead" legend. A conspiracy theory about which people still make long RUclips videos today... I interpret the walk, that millions of people have reenacted over the past few decades, as a kind of note of thanks for the "Fab Four" and their work.
In addition, it seems to be great fun for many, to position themselves on the crossing, preferably in a row of four. And not a few make their own versions, show a stunt, walk particularly conspicuously, lie down, jump, whatever. One also sometimes see people, who just got married or people in special clothes. All of this has somehow developed into its own art form, which can be very entertaining.
HELLO HERE FROM BRASIL NICE VIDEO 😎🙏🇧🇷

No Beetle parked there, but I did see a Golf pass by. 🙂
