Iconic Beatles’ Abbey Road Crossing Repainted Amid U.K. Coronavirus Lockdown

The zebra crossing located outside Abbey Road Studios is one of London’s most popular tourist spots. Each year, thousands of Beatles fans journey to the six white stripes in London and re-create the iconic “Abbey Road” album cover. With London on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, streets and famous tourist hot spots, like the Abbey Road Crosswalk, bear a deserted look. While the priority of the lockdown is to prevent the novel coronavirus from spreading, the city has also seen it as an opportunity for maintenance work. On March 24, 2020, the city authorities repainted this crosswalk, which was designated as a national landmark by the British government in 2010. Watch this video to know more.
