Abbey Road
Category: My latest Europe trip | Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 1:49 pm For those who can remember the Beatles (and who can't!) here is some nostalgia. Remember the Abbey Road album? The front cover depicted the Beatles crossing a Zebra Crossing. One cannot visit London and not walk the hallowed steps of the Beatles at least once! I just had to get a pic of me crossing the same well-worn Zebra Crossing. Now, this was no mean feat! The Abbey Road Studios are located at St. John`s Wood, London, NW8. Because there was a major protest happening in Hyde Park (a 'bring the soldiers home" rally of around 40,000 people) the buses were not running. So we had to leg it most of the way. To get there, walk up Grove End Road, which runs along the west side of Lord`s cricket ground, until you come to the junction where it turns into Abbey Rd. Do not forget to bring your friends, cameras and to put your signature on the wall in front of the studios (everybody else does it, and you are perfectly safe to do it). Anyway, here I am. A funny aside. As I didn't know where Abbey Road was I decided to ask some folk who knew. London Bobbies. They were clueless. They hadn't even heard of Abbey Road. UNBELIEVABLE! A major British tourist attraction. Here they are scratching their heads and scanning a street directory. This blog entry has been viewed 495 times

Lol that's funny Craig. Maybe it was a little in-joke they play on tourists? :)
No, it was no joke. They seriously didn't know. One of them found 3 Abbey Roads in the London area. But he didn't know which one was the recording studio. The other one eventually radio'd base , but the radio guy didn't know either. Login or register to leave a comment. |
