Fans from All Over The World to Cross Abbey Road 50 Years to the Minute Since the Beatles.
August 8th 2019
On 8th August 1969, four men walked across a ‘zebra’ crossing in St John's Wood. Hardly an earth-shattering event, but since then millions of people have come to the very same crossing to imitate those four men.
Of course, the four men in question were the Beatles, and the crossing is in Abbey Road. The 'Fab Four' were posing for the photo that was to be used on their last album to be recorded. Abbey Road has never been the same since. Every day, fans from around the world come to the crossing to walk in the footsteps of their heroes and to see the studios where the Beatles recorded most of their songs.
On 8th August 2019, Beatles London tour guide Richard Porter is organising a special London Beatles Walk that will across Abbey Road 50 years to the minute since the Beatles. At 11:35am, Richard’s tour group will be led across the crossing by Beatles lookalike band ‘Fab Gear’. The band will arrive at the crossing in a replica of John Lennon’s psychedelic Rolls Royce car.
Richard Porter has been leading Beatles tours for 25 years and has crossed Abbey Road thousands of times.
Richard says “Every hour of every day there are fans on the crossing. I’ve seen lots of different sights on the crossing too – from couples having their wedding photos taken, to people going across naked! But the 50th anniversary is going to be very special.”
