A car came pretty close to me when I was there.

Marty Richards (drummer for the Joe Perry Project) filmed this back in April of 2010. He walked from McCartney's home on Cavendish Ave to Abbey Road Studios. Some may find it boring but I think it's interesting...

National Trust may launch campaign to buy Abbey Road

A day in the life of Abbey Road

The National Trust has confirmed that it may launch a campaign to buy the threatened Abbey Road Studios.

The charity said in a statement that "if there is enough momentum, we may launch a campaign to save the studios".

It said members of the public had got in touch to back the idea after it was discussed on Chris Evans' BBC Radio 2 show, and on BBC Radio 5 live.

The announcement follows reports record company EMI has put the famous recording studios up for sale.

However, EMI has yet to confirm this.

'Spontaneous suggestion'

The National Trust - which owns and preserves historic buildings across England, Wales and Northern Ireland - is now asking people to contact it with their thoughts, either via e-mail, or though social networking websites Facebook and Twitter.

"It's not often that the public spontaneously suggests that we should acquire a famous building," said a National Trust spokesman.

"However, Abbey Road recording studios appear to be very dear to the nation's heart - to the extent that we will take soundings as to whether a campaign is desirable or even feasible."

Abbey Road Studios is best known as the place where the Beatles recorded their albums.

The National Trust already has a connection with the band, as it owns the Liverpool childhood homes of Sir Paul McCartney and the late John Lennon.

Music industry analysts say cash-strapped EMI is putting Abbey Road Studios up for sale as it needs the money.

It recently revealed that it needs to raise more than £100m from investors to prevent it from breaching its banking arrangements with US lending giant Citigroup.

And earlier this month it also reported a pre-tax loss of £1.75bn for the year to 31 March 2009.

Abbey Road Studios could be worth as much as £30m.

Oh Wow! I didn't release that's how Paul died and they actually got a picture of it...

Watch when crossing

Wow, that took guts. Did you feel all empowered?

Oh dear. It appears that the driver fled the scene. Maybe he/she parked and walked back. Awful. Hope everyone's alright but that's pretty idiotic pedestrian behavior.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. They should put up a special road sign: Danger - Wannabe Beatles Crossing (all the time)!

Strange things happens there sometimes.

I think they pulled over probably where the VW bug was parked!

It looks like - She didn't notice that the lights had changed and then a crowd of people stood and stared!

Yeah, this picture was caught also...

Here is them crossing back the other way..

peace

I just saw that one of them crossing back the other day too.

Been there two times. Like most things when you seen them in person after looking at dozens of photos, it's not that big. I've been to the sites where JFK, MLK, and RFK wwere killed (I'm a history buff), and I got the same thought: It's not that big.

One of Elvis's early planes was in a storage hanger for awhile, kind of neat in its own way as well.

More 8th August, 1969

I seem to recall the local council were going to paint this over as it's pretty dangerous now with all these people stepping on and off...off and on...taking photos etcetera. Only matter of time before someone gets killed there
