Abbey Road Studios is also a popular tourist site for music fans. People love to see where their favorite singers recorded music. Visitors can walk across the famous crosswalkthat is on the album cover of Abbey Road . Since there is a live stream camera, visitors can check the studio’s websiteto watch themselves cross the historic street. They can also write a message on the wall outside the studio. The wall is repaintedseveral times a year, so there is always room for new messages.
Despite its popularity, the studio was in danger ofbeing destroyed in February 2010. The company that owns Abbey Road Studios was deeply in debt. Because of this, they considered selling the studio. Some housingcompanies wanted to turn the property into expensive apartments. Many people complained about this, and the British government got involved. By the end of the year, the government declared that the studio and the famous crosswalk outside were historic sites. Thus, no major changes could be made to the building. Thanks to these efforts, the studio can be enjoyed by music lovers for many generations to come.
