That is so cool! I get the Atlantic but hadn't seen that yet. Oddly enough, I was there today, "there" meaning "outside the gates of Abbey Road studios taking pictures." And watching other tourists dodging cars to try to get their pictures taken in the famous crosswalk just outside the studio (pedestrians have the right of way in a zebra crosswalk, but some drivers get a bit impatient). I was on my own and didn't want to hand my camera or iPhone over to a stranger in that situation.

This was a cool little pilgrimage, not as cool as the Magical Mystery (Bus) Tour I did in Liverpool a few years back (blog post HERE), but fun to be there and think about all the great music that has come out of that building. I bought an Abbey Road Studio t-shirt and a Beatles London book at the Beatles Coffee Shop (at the entrance of the nearby St. John's Wood Tube Station). Always the Beatles fan-boy, no matter my age. In that book, I later learned that Paul's house from that time is just a few blocks away on Cavendish, so I didn't see that. It's the one where one over-zealous fan managed to get into the house through a bathroom window...

I also found this article about a tour of Abbey Road studios while I was trying to find a way in: TOUR OF ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS
