But there it is, the famous Abbey Road.
Rather than the sidewalk shown on the album cover, I think that Handy was more interested in the studio itself.
I was fascinated by the graffiti. We saw very little graffiti in London, but here was a place where it was allowed and even honored.
This just in time for Mother's Day.
Oh, Darling.
Webcam!
11 am in London was 3 am here? I doubt anyone here saw us.
More of my favorite graffiti.
And more crosswalk views. Here is a great article about the iconic Abbey Road cover photo shoot.
After, we walked around the lovely St. Johns Wood neighborhood a bit, and had a delicious greek lunch.
UPDATE: Just to add this video.
That's a spot in London I've never visited.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that crosswalks are called zebra crossings there and that zebra is pronounced "zeh-bruh"?
(short Z, not long)
(Although, since we're talking British, we need to pronounce Z as "zed" and not "zee".)
Cool!
ReplyDeleteLove this set of pictures! Each and every!

"Jojo left his home in Tucson, Az for some California..." WELL, anyway :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely neighborhood! I would have had the same thought - stay out of that crosswalk but soak up the history.
ReplyDeleteAh, lovely. My last couple of visits to London have kept me mostly in the East End, so I am not used to St. John's Wood.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely neighborhood. And really, had you told us, we could have searched the 24 hour archive to look for you...
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe not. ;)
Pretty cool--and so CLEAN in that 'hood.'
ReplyDeletethis was cool to see all the angles around that famous famous area!
