Worth visiting!

Recording home of the Fab Four and others...

You can approach the building from the street (just up from the zebra crossing on the cover of “Abbey Road”). But getting inside is the tricky part. I’ve been fortunate enough to make it in twice, and it was quite a thrill to visit Studio 1 where the original broadcast of “All You Need Is Love” originated and “A Day in the Life” was recorded. But the greater thrill was visiting the Holy of Holies: Studio 2, where the Beatles did the bulk of their recording. If you make it in, stop for a pint at “The Crossing Cafe”, the in-house restaurant and bar. (That’s the cafe in the picture; my pictures in the studios didn’t turn out well.) Of course, Pink Floyd, Sir Edward Elgar, and lots of people have also recorded there, but the Beatles are the big draw for me!
