Abbey Road

Abbey Road is a must-visit for any Beatles fan. The crosswalk where the famous Abbey Road album cover was shot is definitely a popular tourist destination!

However, it's important to be aware that the crosswalk can be crowded, and it's important to be careful not to get hit by a car. The best time to visit is probably early in the morning or late in the evening, when there are fewer people and cars driving around.

Overall, Abbey Road is a great place to visit if you're a Beatles fan. Just be sure to be careful and enjoy the experience!"

Use your gps to keep your bearing. There are no signs perse on how to get there and you can easily get lost.

The Beatles: the songs and crushes of my youth! Some people might think it's hokey but how can you call yourself a Beatle fan and not walk across Abbey Road??

Lots of cars traveling. So be careful. Bless the locals for their understanding. It took several takes to get our photo "right"!

Pro tip: practice your walk and arm poses first, then walk across so that you don't tire out your paparazzi friend requesting one too many takes.

Beatles history, but try not to block traffic too much. Kinda cool being here once, but I doubt I would return. It's enough to say I was here, and get a photo or two. The actual studio is maybe 30 meters from the crosswalk. They have a gift shop with some kitschy souvenirs. Most are Beatle-themed, but other artists have recorded here, and they have some stuff for them also.

Busy intersection but traffic is courteous with allowing travelers to take photos. You'll find plenty of visitors in the area.

Skeptics would say that this landmark is nothing more than just an ordinary crosswalk. There isn't much to it - it's narrow, uneven, cracked, and the broad white stripes are faded. However, it happened to be featured on the cover of one of the greatest albums of all time, thereby making it the most famous zebra crossing in the planet.

We took the Tube and got off St. John's Woods station then made our way to this historic location via Grove End Road. We expected to see a lot of people, but it wasn't as bad as we thought. Most of us patiently waited for our turn to cross the street, recreate the iconic pose by the Fab Four, and take some photos and videos along the way. The brick building at the corner was a very charming backdrop. A few steps from the crosswalk is the Abbey Road Studios (formerly EMI) where The Beatles made music and magic.

There were times when cars honked at unruly pedestrians for their lack of traffic courtesy. This is a busy area where a lot of tourists and locals "Come Together" so everyone should really be paying attention. Just heed what Ringo had in mind when he sang these words from "Octopus's Garden" - "...Oh what joy for every girl and boy, knowing they're happy and they're safe..."

We didn't come here for the novelty; it was a celebration of sorts having admired The Beatles' work for as long as I can remember. We couldn't squeeze in a visit to Liverpool, but we were happy to have made it here. This was as memorable as listening to the B-side of my cousin's "Abbey Road" cassette tape back in the day, starting with "Here Comes the Sun" and culminating with these lyrics from "The End" - "...And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." However, these lines from "You Never Give Me Your Money" aptly summed up our brief but unforgettable experience - "But oh, that magic feeling... One sweet dream came true today..."

It's a local favorite. Who doesn't want their photo taken where the iconic Beatles photo was taken. It's a FREE thing to do in London and who doesn't love that.

Abbey Road was a must-see tourist spot. It was easy to get there, and there were lots of people standing by the famous crossroads so it was easy to ask someone to take your picture. The gift shop was great too!

We were LOLing on Abbey Road, watching at how absolutely nuts it is to see so many tourists posing for pictures in the middle of a super busy road. Cars are honking as tourists stand still in the crosswalk to capture an image. Yikes!

We were so happy to walk by and just see it during our wonderful day in London, but would never have held up two lanes of traffic for a photo. Be safe out there y'all and get that Beatles' album photo when the road is empty! I can't imagine what locals who have to take that road to commute to work think about it.

We spent a weekend in London and this was a must see on our to do list. Growing up with parents who listened to the Beatles daily, this landmark brought back many memories. We expected many more tourists but the area had maybe 6-7 people on foot,but vehicle/ bike traffic is heavy. For the most part drivers are patient with tourists blocking the road for the famous pose, while others not so much. Just be careful and respect the traffic. The gift shop and the studio are just a few feet away and are great to visit as well. We took a taxi to Abbey Road with no problem, trying to get back was difficult. Uber was also very difficult trying to get a ride through the app. If you find yourself in the same situation, walk to Hyde Park, about 15 minutes and there are plenty of taxis there. The tube is sort of nearby but still requires a good walk. We definitely recommend stopping here for a trip down memory lane. We loved it and had a great time. Enjoy!

It's a road, and a very active one for that matter. So on behalf of both tourists and locals with safety/tolerance concerns, dropping one star shouldn't kill anyone ;) Just be considerate.

Tourists reading this PSA... please don't ever risk survival for the perfect shot. Entitlement is never a good look.

On a brighter note, we offered to take pictures for a family before us so they gladly returned the favor. We got multiple shots and were out of the way quickly to hop back on the bus (~15 minute ride to the inner city).
