The street gained mass attention and even became a landmark after The Beatles named their 1969 album ‘Abbey Road’, with the album cover featuring the four members crossing the road.
Now, every day, dozens of eager and excited tourists head to the location to recreate the iconic album cover.
However, it seems some of those tourists expect a bit more than just a road when they make the trip to St John’s Wood and often end up disappointed.
Many of those tourists have taken to the online review site Tripadvisor to share their upset.
One visitor titled their review “disappointed doesn’t cover it…” explaining: “On reflection, I think I may have been expecting too much. My disappointment in not finding street sellers, either side of the road, selling cheap t-shirts and merchandise was a surprise.”
They added: “It’s just a zebra crossing and you’d save yourself some money by just standing on any of the millions in the UK and just photoshopping the background in.”
Another upset Beatles fan shared that there’s ‘nothing to see’: "I am a massive Beatles fan, but there really is nothing to see here.
“It’s just an ordinary zebra crossing. It’s busy - crowded with fellow tourists trying to work out if they are even at the right place, and with annoyed drivers trying to drive down a busy main road.”
Maybe it’s about being radio dark, in which case you can stay put on the far side /s
It’s not that either.
