The Beatles in London Tour Guide.

The Long and Winding Road Tour

Meeting point: Outside Helterskelter Coffee Shop, St John’s Wood Underground Station, Finchley Road, NW8 6DN

It will be 50 years ago this year that Paul McCartney formally announced the Beatles had split up.
This year will also be the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s tragic death. And Ringo has a significant birthday! In April 1962 whist performing in Hamburg, a little known group received a telegram from their manager Brian Epstein, telling them they had a recording session (and audition) at the Abbey Road Studios in June. From this telegram began the rise of the most famous band in the world!

Whilst Liverpool was their hometown, where they grew up and where they first performed, it is London that holds so much Beatles history.
We start our walk in St John’s Wood. Home to Paul McCartney since 1966. We will visit the world famous Abbey Road Crossing, and maybe sign our names on the wall of Abbey Road Studios!
