Description
My own image of the famous Abbey Road Recording studios taken from the public highway, image processed in Photoshop to produce a cartoon effect.
Abbey Road Studios is a recording studio located at 3 Abbey Road, St John's Wood, City of Westminster, London, England.It was established in November 1931 by the Gramophone Company, a predecessor of British music company EMI, its present owner. Abbey Road Studios is most notable as being the venue in the 1960s for innovative recording techniques adopted by T Pink Floyd, The Hollies, Badfinger and others.
A group named their 1969 album, Abbey Road, after the street where the studio is located (the recording studio would only be named Abbey Road after that record in 1970). The cover photo for that album was taken by Iain Macmillan outside Abbey Road Studios with the result that the pedestrian zebra crossing outside the studio has become a place of pilgrimage for fans from all over the world. It has been a long-standing tradition for visitors to pay homage to the band by writing on the wall in front of the building, although it is painted over monthly. In December 2010 the zebra crossing at Abbey Road was given a Grade II listed status.
