Smile Beatles fans: You're on the Abbey Road webcam

Smile Beatles fans: You're on the Abbey Road webcam

It might be the most famous crosswalk in music history, thanks to the Beatles' iconic 1969 "Abbey Road" album cover.
London drivers probably wish it wasn't so famous. Every day, they put up with Beatles fans and tourists who flock to the "zebra crossing" outside Abbey Road Studios and try to imitate the memorable photo of John, Ringo, Paul and George crossing the street.

I was watching this thing one night and these four girls kept going back and forth, back and forth. It was funny to watch becuase sometimes they ran or skipped or danced. Wonder if they had any idea they were being watched?

My favourite part of the webcam is when drivers get p*ssed off at tourists trying to take pictures.

I am posting on an internet forum, therefore my opinion is fact.

I know! I'll bet a lot of those drivers wish The Beatles would have gone with their first idea; calling the album Everest and doing the cover shoot in the Himalayas! It just wouldn't have been as cool though.

Yeah, that was the Austrian Alps. But they also got a chance to go to the Bahamas first.

"The scenes set in the Bahamas and the Alps were written expressly to satisfy the Beatles' demands for both a sunny, tropical locale and a skiing holiday, respectively. Another reason for filming in the Bahamas was the tax-breaks it offered, and Cavalcade Productions was formed there to receive the Beatles' appearance fees."
