Abbey Road Crossing

Cultural Half day difficulty: Easy with kids: yes

The most famous pedestrian crossing in the world, the one from the cover of the Beatles' «Abbey Road» album, is still in its place in a quiet London neighborhood. Across from it are the studios where they recorded.

The pop wink

The zebra crossing from the cover of the Beatles' «Abbey Road» (1969) is still there; you can walk across it just like they did.

With kids

Cross the zebra crossing all four in a row, like on the cover
Listen to the songs beforehand to recognize the moment
Sign the studios' white wall, covered in messages from fans
Tell your daughter the most famous band in history recorded here

Accessibility: All ages — cross carefully, it's a street with real traffic

With family

Take turns doing and redoing the iconic photo crossing together
Play the whole album as you walk around the neighborhood
Look on a map for how many of their songs name real places in England
Finish at an English tea house to talk it over
