The walk will begin with the house in Cavendish Avenue that Paul purchased at the height of Beatlemania, then walk around the corner to Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles recorded most of their songs. You'll also have a chance to walk across the famous zebra crossing that featured on their album cover.

You'll also stand outside the London Palladium where they filmed scenes for A Hard Days Night, and stare up at the roof of No.3 Savile Row where they played their final live gig.
