Iconic Savile Row Building to Become Permanent Beatles Experience

The Beatles will have a museum in London for the first time, located in the building on Savile Row in the heart of the city. This is the site where the Liverpool band recorded their final album, “Let It Be,” and performed on the rooftop in what was also their final concert together.

The museum, announced on the group's official website, will be called “The Beatles at Savile Row” and is scheduled to open in 2027, allowing fans of the legendary quartet to enjoy this immersive experience.

“Tourists come to England and can go to Abbey Road, but they can't go inside, which causes traffic jams and really annoys drivers, so this seemed like a fantastic idea to me,” Paul McCartney told the BBC.

Specifically, the museum will be located at 3 Savile Row, which served as the band's base in the late 1960s before the quartet permanently disbanded in the early 1970s when John Lennon signed the legal dissolution of the group. Starting today, those wishing to visit the building can register on the Beatles' website to obtain tickets.

The building, situated on the street famous for traditional British tailoring, will include a recreation of the studio where “Let It Be” was recorded and the opportunity to relive the iconic rooftop concert in the exact location where it occurred. While further details are yet to be released, McCartney explained that visitors will see band memorabilia as they ascend the building toward the rooftop, “where you can feel like a Beatle.” There will also be a shop for visitors to purchase souvenirs of the Liverpool band.

The rooftop concert took place in January 1969 and marked the last time the “Fab Four” were seen performing together. Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who filmed the legendary show, recalled that some members of the group wanted to cancel at the last minute, but George Harrison opposed the idea. Consequently, the four musicians went up to the roof on a very cold January day and sparked chaos as fans on the street realized what was happening.

They played for 42 minutes, with a repertoire that included “Don't Let Me Down,” “I've Got A Feeling,” and two versions of “Get Back,” before complaints from neighbors forced the police to stop the performance.

While Liverpool already hosts two museums dedicated to the band—“The Beatles Story,” which features a replica of the Cavern Club, and the “Liverpool Beatles Museum,” which houses personal items belonging to Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—this will be London's first permanent museum of this scale.

Last week, McCartney and Starr released a duet single titled “Home To Us,” featuring backing vocals by Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri. Additionally, McCartney is set to release a new studio album at the end of this month titled “The Boys of Dungeon Lane,” focused entirely on his childhood memories in Liverpool.
