  • The Beatles London Tour Part 1.
    Roll Up for a mystery tour :-) The Beatles lived and recorded in London. In this video I visit some of those famous locations from Abbey Road, Baker Street and Marylebone Station to St Pancras Old Church and Montegu Square.

    27:45 I worked for a travel agent delivering tickets & passports throughout central London. On the day of Ringo's marriage, I told the agency that I needed to set off early, so they sorted out my deliveries earlier than usual. My plan was to sit on my motorbike across from the steps on the other side of Marylebone road, to see Ringo coming down the steps. I sat there for ages. Nothing happened. No Ringo. I can only assume he left via the back, or, maybe I got the time wrong.

    The one and only time I ever walked across that Abbey Road crossing was about 20 years ago, and I was going to do a service call at a job just round the corner. I walked across the crossing with my big toolbox and I felt vindicated that I have never had to do the 'touristy' walk across. I was actually walking over it for an actual purpose! It was a great feeling though!

    Really enjoyed your video - thank you! Few points in response - Paul still owns his home in Cavendish Avenue. Listing of the Abbey Road recording studio is a great thing but does not actually prevent alterations or demolition (simply means that formal consent is required). George and John only are mentioned on the Apple Shop EH blue plaque as they only include people who have passed away on them.

    Another great video and like a few others have suggested. A nice and relaxing watch too. I've been meaning to devote a day or two for many years to stuff like this. We are pretty lucky London is so full of landmarks. I got around to visiting Karen Carpenter's old home where she sadly died but for me, it was the cover of the Now And Then album that got me visiting that place. You never think you would ever get a chance to visit somewhere so far away but like you, I'm really into the nostalgia of it all. I hope you make many more videos like this as they are very well put together, very informative and show things which I've not seen anyone else cover.

    Another wonderful slice of Beatles history. Loved the shots of the station in particular! I remember I used to watch those Beatles films when the BBC used to air them in the mid to late 70s... this was pre VHS video recorders (although my uncle had some JVC model in 1977/78 which I remember cost about £650 or so - over £3000 in today's money) so you only saw them when they aired....

      The exact model was probably the JVC HR3000 which was the first VHS in UK I think..
      I think Bob Monkhouse was a real pioneer in the UK as he had his own professional video recording equipment at home a long time before anyone else. When he passed away they discovered a whole treasure trove of long deleted programmes. I believe Lenny Henry even managed to find his New Faces debut because of Bob.

    So glad I discovered your channel! Quite enjoyable and relaxing. My band and I came to the UK in August of 2017. We did a little Beatles tour and signed the wall outside of Abbey Road. Not many people there at all. It was a late weekday afternoon. We even walked right through the gate and posed on the steps. Our guitar player even walked inside and started chatting up the staff(I was WAY too nervous to go inside). Unfortunately,the street was undergoing construction and it was causing an issue with the crosswalk in that you couldn't get into the position in which the album photo was taken if you wanted to recreate it. I walked across but felt very self conscious and "touristy" doing it.

    As yourself, my #1 favorite is Abbey Road, always has been. And as mentioned in the comments in one your other vids, that Sgt. Pepper & Myst'ry Tour are like one album, but in two parts. And then the White LP, followed by Revolver, like goin backwards from Road.
    Soul, For Sale, Meet, and the least fave, Let it Be, And Submarine. But I had to buy Yesterday & Today and Beatles Again (aka Hey Jude) in order to have particular songs that were left off US releases, or were only issued as singles. (e.g.) Dr. Robert on Yesty & Tdy, I believe was a compilation LP with a couple new, but prerecorded songs.
    Same as Old Brown Shoe, Madonna and Hey Jules. had to purchase the-I called it Beatles Again. But LP's like that were not considered a "Studio Album" right? Jude was released in 1968? Submarine, I eventually had to get, because it had All you need, All together, Bulldog and Northern songs on it. I heard Martin's film compositions on side B once, but never again.

    Re: the blue plaque having two names missing, I believe it’s an English heritage rule that you have to have been dead for 10/20 years before you get on a blue plaque, think I learned this on the Beatles tour in Liverpool in the early 2000s when someone asked why there wasn’t one on George’s childhood home even though he had died

We’ll never know if this was the case, or that the Beatles were under par. Might be that Pete Best was drumming. 🤷🏻‍♂️
