The iconic cover art from the Beatles' 1969 record "Abbey Road."
With the recent news that EMI announced the intended sale of the famed Abbey Road studios, I made a note to return to that area, one quite centrally located but to which I'd not traveled in the course of my last few trips to London.
Needing a break from my reading and seizing the bright blue skies and near tolerable temperatures, I made my way to Saint John's Wood and Abbey Road earlier today. What follows are a few pictures I took whilst there...
There were the usual collection of tourists taking pictures of one another walking across the street and there were also a few members of the news media reporting on the pending sale.
Abbey Road studios sits just behind the famous crosswalk.
It has been reported that EMI has rejected an offer for £30 million for the building.
The white walls outside the studios are constantly repainted, but it doesn't take long for fans to cover them up once more.
