The Beatles Walk - Special Abbey Road Anniversary Tour

Text directly copied from this web-site: http://www.beatlesinl...

'On August 8th 1969, The Beatles crossed the pedestrian crossing by Abbey Road Studios to pose for pictures for the front cover of their new album. Only six pictures were taken in all, and the photo shoot lasted for 10 minutes. Since then, millions of people have posed on the crossing to recreate this iconic photo.

On Saturday August 8th, the tour will cross Abbey Road exactly 40 years TO THE MINUTE since the Beatles! Some Beatles-related celebs are expected to be at Abbey Road for the event.

After the tour, many Beatles fans will be going to a nearby restaurant to celebrate.

There is no need to book for the tour, but to give an idea of how many people to expect on the tour, please contact Richard Porter on 020 8200 3438 (or e-mail, through the site) to say if you are coming. Also if you would like to come to the restaurant please let me know.

The anniversary will also be celebrated at the Beatles Coffee Shop, which is only five minutes walk away from the famous crossing.

Please note the 11.20am tour will not go ahead on this day.'
