Abbey Road

Famous London crossing

Abbey Road is a street in northwest London, made iconic by the recording studio where the Beatles produced most of their albums.

The name now refers primarily to their 1969 album featuring the famous crosswalk photograph, endlessly imitated by tourists and parodied in popular culture: They recreated the Abbey Road cover for their band photo.
