"Just round the corner from the crossing sits the studio where the Fab Four recorded not just Abbey Road, but also the likes of Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Arguably the most famous recording studio in the world, it was here that The Beatles pushed creative boundaries and changed the music world forever. It remains a recording studio to this day - as well as a cultural shrine to the band that made it world famous."
"A short walk from the crossing and studio is 7 Cavendish Avenue, a property bought by Paul in 1965 and still owned by him today as his London base. It was here that many of the band's songs were written and rehearsed, including Hey Jude and Penny Lane. Though a private residence, Beatles fans still visit the exterior and take photos from the street to respectfully pay homage."

The rooftop concert on 30 January 1969 marked the band's final public live performance. The London Palladium hosted a landmark TV performance in October 1963.
