Abbey Street

• 
• This particular street in Central London will be forever remembered thanks to the fab four and their brilliant album.

Head over to Abbey Road to take a selfie with the road sign or recreate the iconic road crossing photo.

Amongst the buildings, you’ll find quirky bars, indie fashion boutiques and alternative eateries such as the Cereal Killer breakfast café.

Streets of London

• Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
• Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?
• In his eyes you see no pride.
• And held loosely by his side
• Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.
• So how can you tell me you're lonely,
• And say for you that the sun don't shine?
• Let me take you by the hand
• and lead you through the streets of London.
• I'll show you something
• to make you change your mind.
• Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
• Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
• She's no time for talking,
• she just keeps right on walking
• Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
• In the all-night café at a quarter past eleven
• Same old man sitting there on his own
• Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup.
• Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone.
• Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission?
• Memory fading with the medal ribbons
• that he wears.
• In our winter city the rain cries a little pity
• For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care.
