    A must go for Beatles fans!
    This was such a cool experience! You need to have a photo plan though because it is hard to get a great shot as it is a busy road. I would go back and take the walk again for a better photo. If you are a Beatles fan, it is a must if you are in London! Abbey Road studios is cool to see too, if only from the outside. Surreal!

    A walk through the history of music
    Visiting Abbey Road was an emotional experience for me and my family. As music fans, walking down the famous street and seeing the Beatles' legendary studio was a special moment. Taking photos at the crosswalk was fun, however, it would be even better if there was a structure to help tourists take photos safely, as the street is quite busy.

    Abby road, the most legendary pavement in the whole world, this was also fun to experience. All The Beatles fans must go here. And Abby road studio was right below the pavement, we met Beatles fans from all over the world and of all ages. Strongly recommended.

    Don’t go out of your way
    A quick stop if you have 30 minutes to kill. Wouldn’t go out of your way to go there. Can only see the outside of the building through a gate and do the ceremonial walk across Abbey Road and take pictures. Then you keep getting asked to visit the gift shop. Unless you’re a big Beatles fan it’s probably something you can skip.

    Holy Land of Beatles Fans
    From St. John's Wood station on the Jubilee subway line, cross the street, pass by the hospital and down the road that curves gently to the left, and you will find that crosswalk on your right. There are people visiting constantly during the day, so I think you'll find out soon enough. It's an ordinary pedestrian crossing in a quiet residential area, but Beatles fans love it. I thought I might never come again, so I crossed many times.

    A zebra crossing with so much history!
    3rd time of visiting Abbey Road and it always feels special to be there because it is a big part of British music history! Well worth a visit and always love signing the wall outside the studios! Also located in a very pretty area which is a 5 minute walk from Paul McCartney's London house, I am lucky enough to discover where he lives after recently doing the Beatles walking tour!

    A memorable and iconic place
    I found this easily as I had researched the location before I set off. It’s wise to do so as I didn’t see any signs to it, but you could always ask at St John’s Wood tube station as there is a Beatles cafe there. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the station. On the way you’ll pass the blue plaque for Sir Thomas Beecham. I went early and arrived at 9.30 hopefully to miss the crowds but there was a big party of Spaniards there. So I had to wait a while until they’d all taken photos. Plus there is traffic of course, so you have to wait for them too. A nice Spanish guy took my photo on the crossing so I was well pleased. Really pleased I got to see this iconic place.

    For Beatles fans it's a must. Be careful to take the picture it is a street with quite a lot of car passage. We waited in line a bit but it was pretty fast. There is a shop right next to the Studio which is very nice but the prices are high (ex 40€ a snow globe)

    Busy area, lots of local traffic
    Absolute must visit if you are a music fan or Beetles fan or just history fan.. But this is a live street with lots of traffic and its not that easy to get your opportunity to get a picture in.. as there is always tons of tourists. Feel kind of bad for the locals as they navigate tourists standing in the middle of the street. Great spot to visit but please be considerate of locals and others trying to take photos. In the half hour we were there we saw few tourists "get into it" because one group would not leave the walkway to let others take photos

Made another trip to the scene of my favorite Beatles album but this time with my wife who this time took snap photos of me walking on the zebra crossing.

Really felt sorry for the drivers who had to deal with these crazy people 24/7, but really glad we did visit again.

Don't forget to visit the Abbey Road Studio Gift shop afterwards.

Abbey Road is made famous by the Beatles who recorded an album in the famous studio which happens to be located on Abbey Road. One wonders if they had recorded the album in a different location if then the album cover would have been different? This in turn would have returned Abbey Road to just another road in London.

Instead it has become a pilgrimage for music fans from all over the world. Many of whom want to walk across the famous crossing.

The 189 bus to Brent Cross Shopping Centre goes along Abbey Road and the St Johns Wood tube station is quite close by as well.

Certainly worth checking out if you are a music fan and in the area.

This place is drenched in atmosphere, thanks to the Beatles. They are also the reason that traffic is continually held up by people taking pics of themselves on the crossing outside the studio, which is fun to watch. The studios look very nice from the outside and the place is situated in a nice area, worth taking a look around.

Quite surreal seeing the road and crossing first-hand after seeing it on that famous album cover all these years!

We visited the road in the early afternoon and although there were a number of people on either side of the road, there was a lovely air of respect as people took their time taking photos, videos and posing on the crossing 'Beatles-style'. Drivers coming to the area seem to be very understanding of what takes place there on a daily basis and patiently wait whilst photos are taken but not all of them are so do expect some beeping of horns from one or two!

We stood at the wall outside the Abbey Road Studios for a few minutes and took in the history and messages left on the white walls, which I can only assume are painted over every so often as a lot were 'modernly' written. We then discovered the Abbey Road shop just to the right of the studios which is well worth a visit and full of memorabilia for The Beatles and other bands who are known for recording at the Abbey Road Studios. Expect to pay £7 for an Abbey Road road sign magnet though!

Despite jubilee line being closed which made our trip out more challenging we loved it . Took a while to get our shot replicating the famous walk but fun doing it . Most were there for the same reason so was entertaining to see the various attempts much to the annoyance of the traffic .

An iconic place - the studio and in front of it the famous transition from the album cover. A nice street, a place closed to the public, they must have been leaking data there, but you can see the recording studio over the fence. A pleasant walk from here around the park into town.

I thought I should definitely go there when I go to England, so I went.
It was a weekday, but there were quite a few people there.
I thought it was nice that a few cars were parked there waiting for me.
I liked the story of how there was a studio nearby, and they went out of there to take the photo for the jacket.

If you love music, rock and roll and The Beatles, you gotta be there!!!, it is near abbey road studios a place that record and played The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix...among others

The nearest Underground Station to Abbey Road is St. John’s Wood. There is only one exit at this station.

There are lot of stores for souvenirs...

When you exit the tube station, you will be on the northeast corner of Finchley Road and Grove End Road. Head west on Grove End Road for approximately 500 meters and make a right turn onto Abbey Road.

We went there on a sunny Sunday morning at the end of March. The picturesque St John's Wood tube station is nearby. We had to wait a few minutes to grab our pictures and we enjoyed being part of the feel of Abbey Road. The recording studio is nearby. All in all a very enjoyable experience.

Nice placefor those Beatles fans to relive this historic crossing and not to mention FREE!

There is an on-site shop and an unofficial one 10 mins away.

Get off at St Johns Wood tube. Only 5-10 minute walk from there!

Must drive people crazy with tourists constantly stopping the traffic for pics…..oh well
