Easy to find, this is a must-see for Beatles fans. Please be careful walking across the street because it tends to be a very busy intersection. I've attached directions so you can find it easily. More

All has been said about this place. But if you try to take a photo, be careful with traffic on both sides. Abbey Road is a bit busy at daytime and it can be quite dangerous sometimes. Although the majority of drivers respect and wait for the tourists to pose, some are quite rude and impatient. I've seen many people... More

Of course, it's a must for each Beatles fan... :P We had great fun trying to take some photos on the famous crossing while the traffic was going as usual... :D I had to stop them for a sec... It's nice to see lots of guys trying to do the same... ;) More

I went for a walk around west hampstead and I ended up on this street. If you like the Beatles, here you can find the famous zebra crossing and also see the EMI studios where they recorded their last album. Here you can also say hello to the camera right outside the studio and later see it on their website. More

Lovely way to spend a spare hour in London. Great photo opportunity but take care- the crossing is in use and not all cars stop!! Abbey Rd is in a beautiful area of London and not too far to get to from St John's Wood underground More

Yes, the Beatles once crossed the road here - but the crossing has moved and - basically - it is just another street. More
