From The Beatles to Pink Floyd, Kate Bush to Oasis, and Radiohead to Sam Smith - Abbey Road Studios has seen some musical legends pass through its doors.
And now the iconic hallowed halls can be visited by the general public, who have been offered the chance to step inside Studio Two.
Over two weekends, the world’s most famous recording studio will open its doors in a series of lectures titled “Step Inside Abbey Road Studios” and superfans are being urged to be quick to snap up the last tour available.
Beatles bigwigs Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew will host the series of exclusive talks. The pair - authors of “Recording the Beatles: The Studio Equipment and techniques used to Create Their Classic Albums,” will “delve into the past, present and future of the storied building” and tell some of the stories of what went on behind the scenes of recordings.
When are the Abbey Road Studios tours?
The tours are taking place across two weekends, on August 4, 5 and 6 and again on August 11, 12 and 13.
There are various times across these dates which sold out quickly, but this week - due to popular demand - the studio organisers have put on an additional session at midday on August 12.
Tickets available from here but are limited to only one date being available because of the high demand the event has seen.
Every single session is sold out, but the midday session on August 12 still has space, although it isn’t sure how long that will last. The session has been put on to try and make sure as many fans as possible can attend, with tickets costing £141.
Who recorded in Studio Two at Abbey Road?
One of the most famous studios at Abbey Road, Studio Two was one of the facility’s original three studios and was initially principally used by big bands to record jazz and swing music.
It later became known as the home of British rock’n’roll during that music explosion, led by such artists as Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and was immortalised by The Beatles recording in there as well as Pink Floyd.
Others to have recorded there include Kate Bush, Oasis, Adele, Ed Sheehan and Radiohead.
