A record producer friend arranged a short tour for me at Abbey Road Studios last week. It was quite busy, so I only got to stay for a few minutes. I did get to sit inside Studio 3...it was a religious experience! Unfortunately, no pics were allowed inside. Needless to say, it was very emotional, I was in tears. Here's a photo I took at the entrance before they told me to put the camera in my backpack. Here's the crosswalk...from this photo, you can see the white studio building on the left in the background behind the wall and wrought iron fence. (took this photo last year). The black car is about where the Volkwagen was on the album cover.

Great pics - thanks for sharing! Glad you had a great time!! It's a tad annoying they're so protective about taking photos inside - not quite sure what their problem is, especially if you're in there legitimately.

Well back in 2001 when CCT recorded some tracks for their 'Why Don't We Do It In Abbey Road' CD in Studio 2, there were no issues with cameras. My friend Rhi's got a load of pics of the band she was watching record (Think it was Liverpool from Sweden) and the American group British Export who were hanging out in the studios with the rest of the Beatle fans.

It was explained to me that some musicians were "sensitive" about photogs taking "unauthorized" pics (you can read that as "not getting paid $"), plus, there are often proprietary electronics or musical instruments in use and they worry about image infringement (industrial espionage/stealing trade secrets?) kinda stuff. Mostly, too many tourists with cameras can sometimes get out of hand, so they try to keep it under control. Plus, alot of changes in the world since 2001...

Thanks, DM, that is so cool (and you are too ) I'm just hopeless, but if I ever go to Abbey Road I'm going to touch the handrail where John did in that photo, and also touch the steps. I feel like one of the guys in that Monty Python movie where they worshiped a shoe .... But I'm OK with that P.S. Looks like they raised the tarmac an inch or two ... note the bottom step!
