London in 2027
[May 11, 2026]
LONDON (AP) — The Beatles are headed back to one of the band's
most famous sites with a new fan experience in London.
Apple Corps Ltd, the company founded by the Fab Four, announced Monday
that it will open a new seven-floor fan experience at the company's
early headquarters. The building is the place where the band's “Let It
Be” album was recorded and its rooftop was the site of the Beatles' last
public performance on Jan. 30, 1969. |

The
attraction at 3 Saville Road in central London will allow fans
access to the rooftop, studios and extensive Beatles archives.
“It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and
have a look around. There are so many special memories within
the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put
together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people
to see it when it’s ready,” Paul McCartney said in a statement
announcing the attraction.
“Wow, it's like coming home,” Ringo Starr said in a statement.
An opening date for the attraction has not yet been announced.
Interest in the Beatles remains high, with four biopics in
production. Peter Jackson's 2021 documentary series, “The
Beatles: Get Back,” relied heavily on footage filmed during the
“Let It Be” recording sessions and of the farewell rooftop
performance.
In 2023, artificial intelligence helped create the final Beatles
recording, the song “Now and Then,” which relied on recordings
by the original Beatles.
