0:07
2025 I am in London England wearing an
0:11
appropriate t-shirt my all-time favorite
0:14
band The Beatles I love a lot of music I
0:17
love a lot of punk rock London has a lot
0:19
of punk rock band history which I will
0:21
hopefully get into at the course of my
0:24
stay but today I've got to knock some
0:26
Bucket List locations off for the fact
0:30
for I'm inviting you to join me shall
0:34
you a lot of these places I've really
0:37
wanted to go to my entire life a pretty
0:39
good consistent portion of my adult life
0:41
I've always wanted to walk across Abbey
0:44
Road and I'm going to try to culminate
0:46
by the end of the day and I'm not going
0:47
to be going in order of all the spots
0:49
some of these might not be the most
0:51
dramatic right off the bat but I'm kind
0:53
of going just in order of where my hotel
0:56
is versus where I'm going to end up but
0:58
I want to end
1:00
at Abby Road and Abby Abby Road walk
1:04
across that very famous probably the
1:05
most famous album cover of all time but
1:07
I want to start here
1:09
1963 this was the theater where John
1:12
linen made the quote about he was
1:14
performing The Beatles The Fab Four were
1:16
were performing for the
1:19
queen and he made the statement here at
1:21
the Prince of Wales theater that
1:24
paraphrasing those in the cheap seats
1:26
can clap and everyone else can just
1:28
rattle their jewelry that was right
1:31
inside this building right here right
1:33
next to my hotel I'm getting a little
1:35
later start than normal the 5H hour time
1:37
change difference like right now it's 10
1:39
minutes to 2 according to that clock and
1:42
I'm kind of discombobulated on which
1:44
direction I was spe of going so I'm
1:45
going to go back
1:46
by the location I was just at and about
1:49
a half mile up will be the last live
1:53
Beatles performance ever a spot that
1:55
I've just really had on my list for so
1:57
long the rooftop performance is a half
2:00
mile this way I only have a few hours of
2:03
daylight you can see it's about 10
2:05
minutes to two right now yeah a little
2:08
jetl going on from a very young age I
2:10
remember my dad talking about the
2:11
Beatles he had all the albums remember
2:14
him telling me how that inspired him to
2:16
pick up the guitar and learn how to play
2:17
the
2:18
guitar through college and on he would
2:21
listen to was growing up in Mississippi
2:25
said he would go to sleep listen to his
2:26
record player of Sergeant Pepper Lonely
2:28
Hearts Club Band
2:30
so I'm sure he'll probably get a kick
2:31
out of be checking he'll probably
2:34
probably watch this video and be pretty
2:36
excited to see the spots as well so this
2:38
was for my dad as well when I was
2:39
playing in bands playing in punk rock
2:41
bands was really when I was getting in
2:44
my heaviest of The Beatles Love and kick
2:48
in fact sometimes when I would perform
2:49
playing bass in those bands I'd wear my
2:52
variety of different beet shirts and the
2:54
other guys in the band with they say why
2:55
are you wearing a beetle shirt at Punk
2:57
Beetle shirts at Punk Croc shows there
2:59
something about them resonated with me I
3:01
love
3:03
the songwriting Duo ly and McCartney
3:06
probably the greatest songwriting team
3:08
of all time arguably my opinion in fact
3:12
Green Day another band that I really
3:13
really love top favorite I feel like in
3:15
a lot of ways they emulated songw
3:17
writing style of The Beatles of
3:19
course that wasn't a collaboration of
3:22
efforts when it came to both of them
3:24
it's just Billy Joe but yeah kind of
3:27
same style all right it's really hard
3:29
for me to wrap my head around the fact
3:30
that I'm walking down this
3:32
street so this is the
3:35
road the rooftop performance took place
3:37
on are yeah five of them on the roof it
3:42
wasn't just The Fab Four it also Billy
3:43
Preston the keyboard
3:46
player Let It Be is probably my favorite
3:49
Beatles album it's hard to pick I also
3:51
like revolver a
3:53
lot it's tough but I think let it be
3:56
it's a special place in my heart more
3:58
than all the other ones I listen to that
4:00
album over and over and over great
4:02
driving album a lot different than the
4:04
other Beatles albums and I just I just
4:06
love it that's so dang excited talking
4:08
about it that I bypassed it and now that
4:10
I'm turning and looking this way there
4:13
it
4:14
is right there oh my
4:23
gosh their final concert ever their
4:23
favorite favorite F I can't talk their
4:27
final live performance
4:30
happened right on top of that roof right
4:33
here on the roof right up there you can
4:36
see still looks exactly the same there's
4:39
an antenna up
4:47
there it was all live they did a few
4:47
songs a couple times and three of them
4:50
ended up making it on the Let It Be
4:52
album dig a Pony might be my favorite
4:55
favorite
4:57
one they only did one take of Pony with
5:00
John
5:01
singing and that's the one you'll hear
5:02
on the
5:03
album and I've got a feeling they did a
5:06
few times I think it was the first take
5:07
of I've Got a Feeling with Paul singing
5:10
is right up
5:11
there unfreaking believable that this is
5:14
the spot right
5:20
here on the album let it be the song Let
5:20
It Be they did not perform that on the
5:21
roof but that was on the
5:24
album and I've listened to that song
5:26
many times through you
5:27
know certain situations in my life and
5:31
hard times in my life it's just you
5:33
listen to that and it
5:34
really man what an emotional song so
5:37
good you can kind of see it but it says
5:40
right there in the little
5:41
circular item it says the Beatles played
5:43
their last life performance on the roof
5:45
of this building January 30th
5:49
1969 and I was recently watching the
5:52
special that Peter Jackson did for
5:54
Disney plus if you go on Disney plus you
5:56
can watch all that there's also a lot of
5:58
footage online but evidently the it was
6:01
going to be on the 29th and they pushed
6:02
it back to January 30th there's just so
6:05
much footage of them inside this
6:07
building can right here oh is the window
6:10
open evidently there's no one occupying
6:14
this building right now a little tour
6:16
guide right there explaining what's
6:18
going on so basically they mounted a few
6:21
different cameras uh there's they put
6:23
one across the way over there that's a
6:27
lot of the angles you see of them up top
6:30
right there and they also mounted a
6:32
hidden camera
6:34
inside the lobby of this here and
6:37
there's you know they had a camera guy
6:39
out here following the police around who
6:40
tried to shut it down they got through
6:42
about 40 40 plus minutes of the
6:46
set this is it right
6:53
here pretty
6:53
cool wish I could peek in the window but
6:55
I actually wish I could get on the roof
6:57
but there's no one occupying this
6:58
building now
7:00
doesn't seem like much to just look at
7:02
a front of a
7:06
building but that is just something else
7:08
that is just something
7:10
else massive piece of music history
7:13
right
7:24
there unbelievable right there on top of
7:24
that
7:30
roof and there's plenty of photos online
7:30
but here's one just real quick like you
7:33
can see Billy Preston was over here in
7:34
the corner of course Ringo in the back
7:37
you got Paul there got John wearing
7:39
his coat big coat and then over here
7:42
next to the wall George
7:44
Harrison think John was my favorite
7:47
Beetle followed by Paul I think Paul was
7:49
a little bit better songwriter but I
7:51
still still is John just something about
7:54
John just really man I love John
7:57
let noce PR l in that photo the camera
8:01
guy got on top of the roof and was
8:02
filming downward you could see this here
8:04
with these pillars and you could see
8:08
this building right
8:10
there the photo was up top there I mean
8:12
there there's so much footage of it
8:15
up everywhere out there but man seeing
8:18
it just in person just so wild yeah
8:21
there's that building there with the
8:23
pillars there's that other building I
8:25
was showing I'm standing right there in
8:27
that spot basically right where that car
8:29
is right
8:31
there where I think about it it's really
8:33
tough to pick a pick a favorite Beatles
8:37
album but let it be is the one that
8:39
resonates strongest with me and probably
8:41
the one I've listened to the most just
8:42
driving
8:49
and White Album though white album's
8:49
another
8:55
one last time they ever performed in
8:55
concert was up there I mean they still
8:57
were together a little bit longer
8:58
finishing the album and everything but
9:01
that was a time anyone outside of their
9:04
Circle in the public eye could have seen
9:11
them now a lot of talk about the roof
9:11
where they used a few of the versions up
9:14
there on the album but everything
9:23
else was in the basement the recording
9:23
studio was in the basement I'm going to
9:25
take it upon myself and just walk down
9:27
here
9:36
kind of blowing my mind to think that
9:36
behind these
9:42
windows it just oh my gosh unbelievable
9:42
Behind These very Windows was the
9:44
recording
9:51
studio Apple corporations here it wasn't
9:51
the the first one but it was the last
9:53
one and moved
10:00
here for the final duration of the van
10:00
cannot see anything inside the window I
10:01
peaked
10:09
in you know ABY Road I know
10:09
is definitely a big big spot but
10:20
this this is this is one as well let it
10:20
be the album right here and last live
10:25
performance again arguably deciding
10:28
which one you want
10:58
on all right lot more I'm not going to
10:59
cover all the spots from the bangs
11:01
there's hundreds and hundreds of them
11:02
but I want to hit the key points but
11:03
this is for me this is a big one this is
11:06
a big one wish I could have got on the
11:09
roof
11:10
but yeah no one know no one's
11:13
here I'm ahead of the Palladium now
11:17
still really trying to wrap my head
11:18
around what I just saw just on such an
11:20
unassuming Street I would say a lot of
11:24
people know the history of The Beatles
11:25
here for sure but there's probably more
11:29
that do not when they pass by that
11:31
building they see people standing there
11:34
looking up thinking what are they
11:36
looking at up
11:42
there so cool look like they have some
11:42
sort of event going on here at the
11:44
Palladium but this is where they
11:46
performed and the news outlets the media
11:50
coined the phrase that everyone was so
11:51
crazy everyone that was showing up to
11:53
see The Beatles in concert they coined
11:55
the phrase Beetle Mania after a show
11:59
right right here in the Palladium while
12:01
I was standing here a gentleman walked
12:02
by he said he fancied my shirt that was
12:05
the words he used and he says oh you
12:07
know the ABY Road album I used to live
12:09
in the flats right next to there said oh
12:11
I'm heading there I'm heading there he
12:12
says good on you or didn't say he said
12:14
good on you but he said he said good
12:16
yeah so if you heard the term Beetle
12:17
Mania that's where it originated from
12:20
right there again they're setting
12:21
something up Brian Epstein his office
12:24
was right next door in this building
12:26
which is under a massive construction
12:28
they have the scaffold in the scrim this
12:30
is where in 1966 John Len made the the
12:34
remark that really a lot of people did
12:36
not agree with and very controversial at
12:38
the time where he said that the band was
12:40
bigger than
12:42
Jesus right above what is now a Five
12:46
Guys people lost their minds over
12:54
that I think Oasis tried
12:54
to say that they were bigger than the
12:57
Beatles I mean come on
13:00
Oasis great band
13:03
but not the
13:05
be when it comes to Paul McCartney he's
13:08
got quite a few songs that really hit
13:11
home emotional songs of course I
13:13
mentioned let it be but can't forget
13:16
about
13:17
yesterday which he got the idea for at
13:21
an apartment of his
13:22
ex-girlfriend over here on the
13:30
corner as The Story Goes he woke up had
13:30
the tune in his head or at least the the
13:32
melody he hadn't had the lyrics yet and
13:35
he jotted him down from awaken on the at
13:38
the apartment right here on wimpole
13:40
Street w m p o l e i could be
13:44
pronouncing that
13:51
incorrectly it wasn't just yesterday but
13:51
John and Paul in the basement also wrote
13:54
I Want to Hold Your Hand
14:03
here it is
14:03
57a so that would be the basement down
14:12
there well now that I'm looking at it
14:12
that's 57a this is
14:16
57 right
14:27
here it had to have been the middle one
14:27
here 57 not 57 because there's an
14:29
interview with Paul saying that he used
14:32
to climb out the window and there was a
14:33
colonel living in 56 which is
14:36
here so the upstairs where he came up
14:40
with the tune he had a dream according
14:41
to him came up with the tune didn't have
14:44
the lyrics yet for yesterday and then in
14:47
basement him and John I Want to Hold
14:50
Your
14:51
Hand
15:01
um so so dang awesome really come on
15:02
come on right over here is a little
15:04
pedestrian Crossing look at the
15:07
little
15:09
yellow little yellow blinking
15:14
bulbs right
15:16
here gives the Walkers the
15:25
rideway all these neighborhoods are just
15:25
all so dang awesome I mean really so
15:28
cool
15:30
like every street is just so easy on the
15:34
eyes the Paddington Street
15:37
Gardens you think of England you think
15:39
of Mary Poppins but she would not be
15:41
content with
15:43
this
15:45
D don't feed the
15:54
birds getting my steps in today getting
15:54
a lot of walking around this beautiful
15:56
area
16:04
right here on this corner for less than
16:04
a year few months shy of less than a
16:07
year was the Apple
16:09
Boutique there used to be a little
16:12
psychedelic mural painted on the side of
16:15
it on the corner on both sides of the
16:28
though in the late 60s I thought it'd be
16:28
a good good idea to open a store
16:31
McCartney was on board and Apple
16:33
Corporation was on
16:45
board evidently part of the reason it
16:45
was closed is because of
16:47
theft seems like a pretty good
16:49
neighborhood but maybe things were a
16:51
little bit
16:52
different around that time or maybe just
16:54
the demand to get Beetle stuff
16:59
we just wanted to grab it and not pay
17:01
for it currently 40° it's 320 right
17:05
now Sunset is in an hour so definitely
17:08
by the time I get to ABY Road it's going
17:10
to be
17:20
dark all right another spot is over here
17:20
the corner of
17:21
montue
17:23
square well this is muge square the road
17:27
would be
17:34
monu Ringo lived here I think John lived
17:34
here for a little
17:36
while a lot of things transpired in fact
17:39
also holds a lot of other Rock and Roll
17:41
History Believe Jimmy Hendricks would
17:43
even crash here as
17:46
well there's even a sign let see what
17:49
the sign on the door says over here is a
17:52
very unique
17:53
taxi goes
17:55
by wet paint
18:07
1940 1980s when well 80s when l in past
18:07
that was in New York been to that
18:13
spot musician and songwriter lived here
18:13
in 1968 but there's a little more to the
18:16
story than just
18:24
that there's a lot of history when it
18:24
comes to the band in these basements so
18:27
evidently Ringo had the first floor and
18:31
basement down below and he rented it
18:35
to Paul and John and Yoko was in there
18:38
for a very very short while and
18:40
McCartney even came up with a couple
18:42
demos inside there I'm looking through
18:44
you which I like and one I like even
18:47
more Eleanor Rigby and that was recorded
18:51
much
18:52
later but that's when he kind of came up
18:54
with the idea in the basement also there
18:57
was an album cover where John and Yoko
19:00
posed in their birthday suits they were
19:02
it wasn't their birthday but they were
19:04
naked and they were down in those wind
19:07
against the in the basement down on the
19:09
other side of the the windows there or
19:11
it could have been the first FL flat but
19:12
it was
19:14
somewhere somewhere in this general area
19:16
right here and here's a photo of Ringo
19:19
and Paul standing on these very
19:23
steps waiting for the automobile to
19:25
arrive to pick them up
19:36
everything after looking up a little bit
19:36
more it appears as if John and Yoko
19:38
lived here during the recording of the
19:39
wi album cuz they were in New York and
19:42
they decided they'd rather be closer
19:43
here for the recording of
19:51
that and there was also a the Scotland
19:51
Yard showed up and arrested John and
19:55
yoka
19:57
for drug use inside of there as
20:02
well that was 196
20:06
1968 there's Holmes
20:09
Grill I come over by Scotland Yard
20:22
Holmes there's a little store here I see
20:23
the drum Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts
20:25
Club Band
20:32
oh I'm going there if they have a Let It
20:32
Be shirt I'll buy one I used to have a
20:35
Let It Be shirt I was looking for it but
20:38
was I was packing to go on this trip and
20:40
couldn't find it so it has since gone by
20:45
wayside wet paint well I'm getting a
20:48
strong wet paint here in London
20:52
Vibe nice variety of stuff inside
20:54
there's actually two storefronts side by
20:56
side they had a lot of different things
20:57
they really have the Let It Be shirt
20:59
that I was looking for they had one but
21:01
it really wasn't really wasn't the the
21:04
one that I wanted so I'm going to eye
21:06
out for it they had some that were kind
21:07
of official Apple ones and then they had
21:09
some other ones that were kind of
21:10
spin-offs and things they also had some
21:13
Yellow Submarine stuff it reminds me
21:16
years ago got a yellow submarine tattoo
21:18
CU I love Yellow Submarine album also I
21:20
guess it's really difficult to to pick a
21:22
favorite Beatles song or favorite
21:23
Beatles album
21:25
but yeah the Let Let It Be is definitely
21:28
definitely up
21:30
there is the fact they even have little
21:34
plushes here from Yellow
21:36
Submarine lot of Yellow Submarine stuff
21:38
in
21:44
here all right going to continue on yep
21:44
I wanted to
21:45
have a beetles
21:48
nod on my arm so got the Yellow
21:52
Submarine got that many years ago
21:54
probably 20 years ago now if I had to
21:57
guess when I was going through my heavy
21:59
Beetle face and I was listening to them
22:02
every day consistently for a very very
22:05
long time so I can I get what should I
22:07
get Beetle wise instead of getting all
22:09
you know their four faces or anything
22:11

Submarine all right continue walking
22:18

22:20
heart just remember all you need is

22:35
cricket right here at the Crickets
22:37
ground
22:38
Lord's cricket
22:46
ground McCartney bought his first house
22:46
here in London back in the early 60s 63
22:50
is I believe he still owns it
23:18
there it is evidently when he bought the
23:18
house even back in the
23:20
60s he made it you know with security
23:23
and things like that just because he
23:25
knew people were going to stop by
23:29
this is a photo here what it looked like
23:31
back in the
23:37
day got it for pretty decent price again
23:37
he also bought it in the 60s so no
23:39
telling what this house is worth
23:47
now there's a guy standing across the
23:47
street too he's got some Beetle stuff on
23:48
he said you got to go push the button I
23:50
go no not going to do that
23:53
but that's the
23:56
house pretty cool
23:59
hey it may or may not be home who
24:08
knows all right going over to get
24:08
another cup of coffee and then to Abby
24:11
Road and Abby Road Studios here's some
24:14
photos from back in the day a Paul in
24:15
front of his home
24:18
there sign it's the water grass it looks
24:21
like it would be cool to meet Paul
24:25
McCartney I used to work at Office Max
24:28
years ago and there was a manager there
24:29
him and
24:31
I we had a connection through our fandom
24:34
of The Beatles I was always working and
24:37
receiving sitting at my little desk
24:39
doing check-in stuff and whatnot and I
24:40
had a little CD player I was always
24:42
listening to Beetle albums and he' come
24:44
back there and talk about how he was
24:45
like his favorite group and how he went
24:47
to sha Stadium to see them back in the
24:49
day he couldn't get in it was either
24:50
sold out or he couldn't get tickets so
24:52
he stood outside of Shay stadium and
24:56
listened to them perform from outside
24:58
and the same guy the manager at the
25:00
store telling stories about years later
25:03
he was according to him was at a Disney
25:05
Resort
25:07
staying and went outside at like
25:09
midnight or 2: in the morning to smoke a
25:11
cigarette went outside the facility to
25:14
smoke and Paul was there said he was
25:17
very Star Struck walked up to him tell
25:19
him about the whole Shea Stadium story
25:21
and Paul was like oh yeah good show it
25:23
was a good show I don't know if that's
25:26
true but man how cool would that been to
25:28
just see Sir Paul out there I not sure
25:32
if he even still smokes anymore but see
25:35
smoke having a conversation about Shay
25:38
stadium so pretty NE I've never met Paul
25:39
McCartney also realizing by looking at
25:41
the map as I'm walking over here how
25:43
close Paul's house was to Abbey Road or
25:46
is to Abbey
25:48
Road the only Beetle I've ever seen in
25:52
person was Ringo during his birthday off
25:55
of Hollywood Boulevard Capital Records
25:57
building he did a
25:58
thing a few years ago when I was living
26:00
in Hollywood between 2017 and 2019 and
26:03
David Lynch was there too so I saw David
26:05
Lynch David lunch just
26:08
passed I feel like I'm getting
26:11
closer feel like I'm getting
26:22
closer I also like hear in London how
26:22
these are on all the
26:23
intersections you know if your mom never
26:25
taught you to look both ways the streets
26:27
will
26:29
look both
26:43
ways this is
26:43
that right over here on the corner of
26:45
Grove End
26:48
Road and Abbey Road
27:18
traffic unbelievable this is
27:18
it oh my God
27:30
you know it's I had heard there was a
27:30
lot of traffic through here but this is
27:33
be very
27:34
difficult to really unless you were here
27:37
like late early in the morning or late
27:38
at night before anybody shows up and I
27:41
had no idea behind where the
27:43
photographer was was the sculpture here
27:46
the way the road
28:13
there was definitely no cars today they
28:13
were getting that
28:15
photo famous photo that I think years
28:18
later they digitized out Paul's
28:21
cigarette I think he was like walking
28:22
later with no cigarette
28:24
but originally had the cigarette in hand
28:37
of course when we took the photo there
28:37
was a lot more leaves on the
29:15
things I didn't really realize till I
29:17
got here it is a beehive of activity
29:20
traffic wise here would have gone from
29:21
this side ABY Road Studios there and
29:24
then they would have walked
29:26
across this
29:29
do not recall ever just seeing the
29:30
little lamps they had you know think the
29:33
look right was down
29:35
here but this is exactly where they
29:38
would have
29:44
walked cartney with cigarette in
29:44
hand directly across just like that
29:47
probably over and over till they could
29:48
get
29:52
the notice behind them where they're
29:54
walking there's an older gentleman
29:56
standing there looking at them being
29:57
photo
29:58
photographed what you don't see is ABY
30:01
Road
30:02
Studios is directly across from him and
30:05
what he is looking at is this angle here
30:09
of them walking
30:28
across I thought about just rting
30:28
straight across there but I figured why
30:29
not just walk back up and go the other
30:31
way
30:32
across walk back the opposite way as
30:36
they were
30:38
walking that's going on over
30:58
oh people have wrote all kind of stuff
31:00
here look at this don't write here there
31:03

scores Raiders of the Lost Arc I didn't
34:46
know that Tina
35:16
that okay I can't take photos inside
35:18
so see you after all right I purchased
35:21
quite a few things they do not do tours
35:24
of the inside of the studio so that it's
35:27
still an active studio so no tours are
35:30
given thought maybe they did like a some
35:33
sort of tour but they don't a lot of
35:36
famous photos of artists on front of the
35:38
staircase over there it's also very
35:39
interesting they said no photos in here
35:41
they had a really a lot of really good
35:42
merch which I purchased quite a bit as
35:45
well but then when you walk in there's
35:47
an immediate sign that says tag us it
35:49
has their social media so I asked do you
35:52
not want photos do you want photos I go
35:54
well you can take photos just no video
35:56
so well the S says no photos so I didn't
35:57
do either inside
36:07
there but they had some good stuff in
36:07
there but no
36:10
video last time I was in the Bay Area
36:12
California Bay Area San Francisco I
36:14
purchased klunk my favorite Green Day
36:17
album over at Berkeley in the same area
36:20
same vicinity Green Day is
36:28
from I do not own a record player
36:28
currently but I do collect record and
36:30
eventually I will have a record player
36:33
so I bought Abby
36:35
Road at Abby Road shop next to ABY Road
36:40
studios here at the crossroads of ABY
36:46
Road I mean right that's uh that's how
36:48
it should be
36:50
done if you're going to buy a a record
36:53
and you want to have a certain record
36:54
it's kind of neat to purchase it at this
36:56
at the place
36:58
that ties
37:04
in to where you're at you also notice
37:04
there's this little white bug here here
37:06
we go here we go here we
37:18
go talking about the older gentleman
37:18
that was standing over there that's
37:19
behind them as they're walking by but
37:21
the bug would have been right over there
37:23
parked and they sell that inside the
37:26
store
37:33
so I got that I got the vinyl got a few
37:33
other things as
37:40
well bug would have been right there
37:40
also grab
37:41
this little stocking cap as I walk
37:45
across the same most famous Crossroads
37:47
in the world so not only the vinyl got
37:50
the souvenir bag I got a button here all
37:53
you need is love I also got a magnet for
37:54
my
37:56
magnet collection
37:58
I walk
38:00
the crossing also got the
38:03
1969 ABY Road one I got a little Sharpie
38:05
with ABY Road on it and I also got this
38:07
one here designating the studios there
38:10
they are walking
38:22
across traic seemed seem to slow down a
38:22
little bit at least at the moment
38:33
cap new merch it doesn't take long
38:33
before the traffic to show back up again
38:35
as well does not take long look at this
38:38
flow going through here but they do stop
38:42
sometimes for people that are crossing
38:44
by I think I spent a little too much
38:46
time here but this is one place I'll
38:48
probably don't know if I'll ever get
38:50
back here again and I waited a long time
38:53
to get here so apologies if I'm over
38:56
filming this because this is blowing my
38:59
mind
40:11
all right in order to get to coffee shop
40:11
I just looked it up there is a Helter
40:13
Skelter coffee shop got to go this way
40:16
and then about I don't know about a half
40:18
mile or so so I'm going to walk over
40:21
here one last
40:38
all right over here at the St John's
40:38
Wood Station
40:40
evidently in the subway system known as
40:42
the underground there is a Helter
40:45
Skelter there's the tube map they call
40:48
the Subway the tube here I could
40:50
probably use this to get back over to
40:52
where I got to go Picadilly circus area
40:55
Beatles coffee shop I was looking online
40:56
as that they changed the name of it to
40:58
Helter Skelter but evidently they have
41:00
changed it back to beetles coffee
41:15
shop but actually I got confused and I
41:15
walked a half mile the other way try to
41:18
find it
41:19
on the maps and got confused so I went a
41:23
mile out of the way and then a mile back
41:25
but really this was really close to Abby
41:29
R but with the weather how it is you
41:31
definitely use another cup of coffee St
41:33
John Woods John's Wood St John's Wood
41:38

town most of them just make americanas
42:30
they serve electric company here at the
42:33
coffee shop of the band well not
42:35

43:33
airports that if you're not walking you
43:35

43:37
it's the left cuz everyone drives here
43:39
