Beatles museum to open in London
The Grade II listed mansion, 3 Saville Row, once the headquarters of The Beatles between 1968 and 1972, and the site of their last ever concert, will be turned into an exhibition space, allowing fans to view the band’s memorabilia and archive material that has never been seen before.
The building was the site of the band’s last ever concert, as well as the place where their last ever album, Let It Be, was recorded.
“Tourists come to England and they can go to Abbey Road, but they can’t go inside [and] it snares up the traffic and the drivers get really annoyed,” said Sir Paul McCartney. “So I thought this was a terrific idea.”
The Beatles at 3 Savile Row, as it is officially titled, will launch in 2027, but fans can already register for tickets on the band’s website. The building will include a recreation of the basement where Let It Be was recorded as well as a chance to relive the rooftop concert on the very spot where it took place.
“Well, you go in on the ground floor, and there’s memorabilia and stuff like that,” Sir Paul said. “Then you work your way up through the building, and [see] various things that happened here and there, until you get to the top, where you go out on the roof and pretend to be a Beatle.”
A shop will also be included for licensed Beatles merchandise. “You know, a retail thing… but you want that,” Sir Paul said. “You even want that at the National Trust, you know? You’ve got to have a souvenir.”
