A new Beatles fan experience will let fans retrace the footsteps of the Fab Four at the site of their final concert on the rooftop of 3 Saville Row in Mayfair, London.
The building was one of Apple Corps Ltd's earliest headquarters. It is also home to the studio where the band's Let It Be album was recorded and to the rooftop where the band performed together in public for the final time on January 30, 1969.
3 Saville Row will open its doors to the public for the first time next year, as seven floors of the building are being turned into a Beatles museum, featuring never-before-seen material from Apple Corps' archives, rotation exhibitions, a fan store and a recreation of the Let It Be studio.
"We're thrilled to bring Apple Corps back to its spiritual home and give the Beatles fans something truly special," said Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene. "Every single day, fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Saville Row — but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors and of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969."
On the roof, fans can explore the positions John, Paul, George and Ringo took for their final gig (the iconic performance was not permitted and was shut down by the police after about 40 minutes).
Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr recently got to tour the site.
"There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop," McCartney said in a statement. "The team have put together some really impressive plans and I'm excited for people to see it when it's ready."
Further details will be announced in the coming months.
