Best time to do this at 4am during the summer. It will be light, there will be few people around and more importantly no cars to mow you down while you have your picture taken.
Thank you so much for this! I worked just around the corner from here in Hall Road 1969 at Lords telephone exchange. Often walked acroos the crossing and never gave it a thought until I saw the album cover. I love The Beatles.
Who isn’t a Beatles fan! I loved this video. Thanks for the walk and tour. It was fun watching people take pictures on the crossing. Can’t blame the fans. I’m more surprised cars would drive there knowing they’d be constantly stopped!
A memorable video for me to come across ,as it`s the first time I have viewed these streets in 74 years ,having used them almost every day during that time in my childhood until about 1951. The starting point outside Maida Vale station. When we still live nearby I would walk daily to my grammar school following this same route up and down the hill, then when we moved to live in Hertfordshire I would commute to school ,using Maida Vale station. St. Mark`s Church was damaged during the War and the top part of the spire blow off . I was christened here . Later ,I joined the Girl`s Life Brigade at the Baptist Church , in Abbey Road. After we left the area I heard that there was an awful accident in the dwelling to the left of the Church ,when the chimney collapsed through the roof ,with fatalities. We lived in a basement flat with a small garden in Alma Square ,which backed on the the huge studio building at the rear of Abbey Road Studios. From a very early age ( a toddler) I would play in the garden hearing classical music ,as rehearsed in the studio while the windows were open .I now realise that I must have been hearing all the best orchestras ,musicians and conductors of the time, which gave me a lifelong love of listening to music of all kinds . I am only sorry that we left before the eras of other great music ,rehearsed and recorded there. The concluding part of the video shows my walk up Grove End Road and past St. John`s Wood station ,which was my earlier route to the primary school in St. John`s Wood .The statue at the junction of Abbey Road and Grove End Road was once the proud boast of my sister ,then aged about 10 .She always maintained that having chewed a bus ticket to sodden mess ,she managed to spit this exactly into one of the eyes of the statue !
Well it’s not just any crossing. They’re emulating the Beatles’ album. A typical touristy thing to do. Granted, I would wait until traffic eased before hopping on. As a lot of the people were doing.
Thank you for these great walks. They really help during these times. I can feel myself transported to wherever they are. I hope you are well, stay safe
I used to live 200 meters from that famous zebra crossing; I were crossing it at least twice a day. There were always tourists around; the only time I found it desert was one night around 4am.
just found your channel while bored in quarantine - thank you so much for uploading these awesome videos!!! i did this exact same walk when i was there in march 2019 and am really missing london
Watched Walker, my fellow walker of TH-cam, I am always in the mood to witness the successes of your latest video walk in London city, the capital of UK country and place filled with too many glories for the eyes to behold properly.
A beautiful walk on a beautiful day. It is exactly a year back and very similar to glorious sunny days we are getting in this dreadful lockdown. Today we hear the social distance will continue for whole of this year. This bitter pill is getting too hard to swallow. Anyway, I digressed. I enjoyed every bit of this walk, quite amused by the tourist activities in the famous crossing. London looked so crisp and cheerful in the sunshine. Thanks for caption at junctions and structures. A great help for me. Take care. Looking forward to more out of your magic carpet bag.
Thanks Pagla, it was a rather lovely spring day, just a shame we're not able to go out and enjoy the lovely weather we're currently having. Thankfully I still have a few more videos in my magic carpet bag! Take care and stay safe.
👍I think I’m more impressed by the beautiful spring rather you had that day then the crosswalk. Must be such a traffic hazard having everyone there all the time. Thanks so much for this look back. Stay safe. - Henry
I've been here twice before, both times I used the St. John's Wood underground station, but I remember the second time I went there, the station was closed because someone jumped on to the track, so I had to take a bus back to Victoria station
It's a nice part of London, and funny to see the tourists at the crossing. As for the incident at the station, it's awful when that happens, and must be terrible for all involved!
Sensacional! Em março de 2019 estive em Londres; saí da estação St. John´s Wood Station e fui até Abbey Road e fiquei admirado com as pessoas, na sua maioria turistas, indo e voltando repetindo a caminhada de The Beatles. Entrei também nessa Loja que tem ao lado do Estúdio e comprei discos lá. Uma beleza! Abraços fraternos do José aqui do Brasil.
Fantastic video, as always! I await your videos with great fondness, and watch them whilst exercising at home. Question: Do you use any ND filter on the Hero8? If so, what number? In a sunny day setting like this, is it advisable to use a ND filter? I just bought a Hero8, and am trying to figure out the basics on using it outdoors in similar settings as you do. I am not too familiar with the need and use of ND filters, still learning. Could you also please share your Shutter Speed, EV setting, Colour setting and whether PT is on or off, for this video as an example? Will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you! In terms of ND filters, I didn't use one in this video, but I have for others. They can help to stop light objects being burnt out, but at the same time everything is darkened and can look dull. It can take a lot of editing to make the image look "normal" again, and especially hard when it's a video as you may move to different areas of brightness. I'd be more inclined to just lower the exposure (ev comp) and not worry about an ND filter unless it's absolutely necessary.
@@WatchedWalker Thanks a lot for your quick and detailed reply, alacrity appreciated. I too have never really understood the need for ND filters, but it seems common use judging from the number of YT videos talking about it. Your advice is better than their reasoning, and I'm likely to follow it. So in the end, do you color-correct or exposure-correct your videos, like this one for example, before uploading? Or is it just as-is from the camera?
Foi uma pena não ter mostrado os famosíssimos estúdios Abbey Road por fora, claro. It was a pity you didn't show the famous Abbey Road studios on the outside, of course. Thank you. I see this place ten years ago.
When I was there in 2019 we walked down a street and discovered this amazing Duke of York pub. Wish this walk could have included that area. Not far from Abbey Road.
Это в честь этого храма -кастел назвали улицу Abbey Road???? Спасибо за видео путешествия по местам Битлов! Водители ругаются: Ну сколько можно ходить через дорогу в четвертом?!
All that time spent filming the Abbey Road crossing, and you somehow forgot to actually use it yourself in order to provide a first-person point-of-view ... oops! :)
Glad i dont live near there, an endless stream of sheep loitering and 'playing' on the zebra crossing just cus the beatles did. How original. And the constant doodling and scribling on abbey rd studio walls...easy solution pebble dash the wall and dont paint it, Graffiti problem solved.

That iconic photo of The Beatles was taken on my 4th Birthday-August 8, 1969. Always remember that all John was saying is, _"Give peace a chance."_
Who isn’t a Beatles fan! I loved this video. Thanks for the walk and tour. It was fun watching people take pictures on the crossing. Can’t blame the fans. I’m more surprised cars would drive there knowing they’d be constantly stopped!

Poor drivers who are trying to pass this crossing with all the tourists stopping to take pictures

🎶🤬😡👹🤕
yeah, boo hoo
Ow finally I got his video. Not trying to go to Abbey Road while I was in London during my 8 months stay in London is something I regret.
Hello, I'm watching Abby Road through CCTV. And also watching from your channel. Very happy.
Thank you very muck
From Thailand 🙏

You’re welcome Henry! And yes, it was such a beautiful day - as it has been recently now we’re stuck inside! Take care.
No kidding! At least "The Hulme Bridge" in Manchester ie "Joy Division" is out of traffic, I was never a fan of "The Beatles"

BEAUTIFULL LONDON . HERMOSO LONDRES HY FROM CULIACAN CITY OF SINALOA STATE OF MEXICO
Absolutely beautiful. Thank u.
be sure to 1st look to your right then to the left.. walk. 15:05
I slated the roofs of them spires on what used to be Abbey Road Baptist Church at 11:50.
It’s now flats in there unfortunately.
They still used slate recently? I wouldn't want to walk near a building with those, they could fall and lop off a head
Nice walk in the great place !!! Thanks for sharing !!! : )
I wonder how many people have been hit by cars here?
Nice and fantastic video. I like this video.
Very cool! Very nice!
Nice ! Thank you for sharing !
Nice day for it!
Thank you great post .Keep safe , Dave. 😊

Lmao I can hear the Brits driving, "bloody wankers GET OUT OF THE ROAD"
Salut sympa la vidéo, Je suis venu dans ce quartier en janvier 2013. Merci à vous pour la balade. ;)
Super,, merci pour la balade 😊👍
Beautiful
Love Abbey Road!
People crossing the road like Beatles jiji. Sorry for the cars jjjj. Nice vídeo
wonderful walk. greatings from turkey👍

@@WatchedWalker Sorry. In the second time I saw in this beautiful video. Thank you
Great video
Trying to drive there must be a nightmare. Imagine driving there and not knowing what it is and just being completely baffled by what's going on.
楽しそうでいいですね

thank you
Locals would have rolling their eyes everytime. LOL.
Very goooooood very coool thank you 😗😗😗😗👣💛💙💚❤👣💛💙💚❤🌹🌹🌹🌹👌

Thanks for sharing. Is your hypersmooth switched on as well?
Herbert, not in this video, I started using it when I changed over to a different gimbal as the footage was less stable without.
You'r the best
Thanks so much!
Nice vedio made by you
Beautiful place.
You should add subtitles for more informative....
Thanks Subhash, the video does have subtitles, just turn on closed-captions.
When I was there in 2019 we walked down a street and discovered this amazing Duke of York pub. Wish this walk could have included that area. Not far from Abbey Road.
Nancy, I have actually filmed that road during the hot spell here, I've not edited and uploaded it yet though!
Es ver la historia en directo !!
The only landmark in the world where there is a time limit for standing on it, a constant fear for your life
Good morning from here
Good content
Good job, stay safe

Paul macartney for ver?
It was a very lively street a year ago, but not now?😑 I want all of us to go back to normal everyday life!🙂

А в студию EMI нельзя было зайти посмотреть известную лестницу... с альбома pleas, pleas me?
Is there a reason why they making these photos in the middle of the street?
Yes, they are trying to recreate the famous Abbey Road album cover image by The Beatles.
@@WatchedWalker Sad people.
Lennon & Harrison would be proooooouuuuuud!
Really?! People are this stupid?! Let Beatles be and just listen their music. LET IT BE!
I bet if you stood at the crossing long enough, you'd hear all of the world's languages.
bellissimo
Seriously? That album is 50 years ago.
in London, lockdown is not there
This is BUCKET LIST SHIT for me!!😂😅❤
