Beatles museum to open on site of band’s legendary rooftop concert

The fabled rooftop where The Beatles played their last-ever concert is to become part of a new seven-floor museum dedicated to the band.

Once the headquarters of Apple Corps, the building at 3 Savile Row in Mayfair, central London, housed the recording studio for the band’s 1970 album Let it Be.

Apple Corps Ltd, a multimedia company established by the band’s members in the 1968, has now re-acquired the building and announced plans to transform it into new ticketed visitor attraction.

The site will be the first museum in London to tell the story of the Fab Four and promises to give visitors access to seven floors of “never-seen-before archive, rotating exhibits, the recreated recording studio in the basement and the famous rooftop”.
