I don't have access to Abbey Road anymore since I'm not longer a student! But I'll make a video just like this one, visiting the place and telling the history of the studios, lots of fun facts and sharing my experience there! So make sure you subscribe to this cannel if you wanna see that kinda content!! :)
I met Paul and Linda there! I was a teen tourist, hanging around hoping they'd come out and they did. They were super nice, posed for photos, signed autographs. ❤
Hello, Deb BG......you wouldn't an extra photo you could send to me ? Please reply.....John from North Carolina, I could send you my address.....please write....I'm also on Facebook.com as John Steelman retired you see me playing a guitar........thanks......John Steelman from North Carolina....
Same with me brother lass, he took a chance and bingo! He was at the front talking to the ladie fans and doing some kind of concrete fix. Got me an autograph and if I only knew where it went, I gave it away for free! Dummy me. Oh well. I wanted my brother to take pictures, too dark or not..once in a life shot lol...oh well. life goes on. He went to Johns in Saint Johnswood and Cynthia answered the door, said John was out, which might not have been the case considering the fans could knock at the door to say hello, probably a default answer lol. He could hear Julian in the background screeching about something. He could see the infamous climbing jungle gym thing in the back yard that was..? what, a carriage or something? Was in the news. 1967. Now its the old folks home ahead of our generation lol. What highlites!!
I'm 80 years young, and I'm reading his autobiography, 816 pages long, by Philip Norman. I've never seen the Beatles, but saw Paul when he played Perth Australia. 3 generations were at the show, Me ,my Son, and Grandson, it was wonderful everyone singing along to Hey Jude. Hi from Australia 😎✌🎶🎵🎶
@@markzappasodi the guy Phillip Norman is a very successful writer, his autobiography of Paul has obviously been Okayed by him, I'd like to recommend anyone who's interested in Paul's life get a copy, he's also produced quite a few books on famous rock stars i.e.Stones Elton John, ect.
@@justinthyme3396 the closest we'll get to an autobiography from Paul is the book Many Years From Now, which features interviews with Paul with his long time friend Miles.
It was about 1977. Linda came in to the Baskin Robbins on Finchley Road and ordered an ice cream birthday cake for one of her children. She asked my colleague if he could deliver it to the house in St John's Wood. When he arrived with the cake 🎂 she invited him in to join the party. I always remembered this because she sounded like such a nice person.
When I worked in the Saint John's area over thirty years ago I used to pass the gate to his house every morning and they were forever sealed . One day he and Linda drove out in a very expensive looking car and it is one of those moments that always stays in my memory . Later that day when I left work I saw them driving past me again in the same area. Never saw them again. The gates in those days didn't look as secure as they do now with no cameras. I think they were green in colour. One day one of his children at about five or six years of age poked her head out of the opened gate as I passed. I smiled ,said hello and she returned the greeting . No idea which one it was. During the period when he was forming the band Wings I came into the avenue and looking down the road opposite his house seated on the wall were a crowd of fans. 'Is this one of them ' one of them cried as I I made my way up the road. All heads turned to look at me and for fifteen seconds I was nearly as famous as Paul himself. Then one of them shouted out 'Nah,he's not one of them ' and suddenly I was cast back into obscurity . Oh well !
You are a lucky man sir...Ive been a Beatle fan since I first heard them in 1963 so they have been a BIG part of my life...I did get to see Ringo in concert and Paul in concert when I was 63 and it felt like I was in a dream, my youth passed before my eyes while seeing them....thank you for posting.
Unfortunately being a Beatle has enormous security problems, as we all know. After what happened to John and George, there's no doubt Paul has to be extremely careful (Ringo too). They know that 99% of Beatles fans are totally harmless, even if they are annoying sometimes, because they truly love the Fab Four and would never harm them. It's the one lone insane maniac who is the problem. Hopefully Paul and Ringo and their families will be able to live the rest of their lives in peace and safety.
Definitely! I've been to the Dakota building in New York and it felt really weird to be right there where John got Killed :( . Don't worry, Paul's pretty safe with me lol
The Beatles have more insane fans then anyone though. Only have to look on UA-cam to see millions are convinced he’s dead and this is a fake Paul and that they are doing the work of the devil while working with governments lol.
In addition to cameras, big gates id have a couple of pittbulls inside to greet anyone who decided to enter late at night! Too bad George didnt have inside dogs to spook that knife wielding crazy guy....
Lovely video well at 69 years old im original Beatlemania generation. There never was so much magical music created as by those 4 Liverpudlian scamps. It was miraculous.
Thanks for this! I love that house. You forgot to mention that it was one of the centres of the "Swinging London"of the 1960s. Being a workaholic, I think he bought the house on purpose to be near the Abbey Road Studios. He was the first to arrive and the last to leave. I remember a story told by Cliff Bennet, of Cliff Bennett And The Rebel Rousers who recorded Got To Get You Into My Life at Abbey Road with McCartney as producer: “We were mesmerised with the things he did,” Bennett says. “New techniques like putting limiters on the piano, stuffing the grand piano cover inside the bass drum to get that flat-slap sound, things like that. Actually, I preferred the old ‘ba-boom’ sound from a bass drum, but we went along with it.” At two am, when McCartney called it a day, Bennett still hadn’t done his vocals, so they reconvened the following morning. “Paul lived just along the road, so he turned up in his pyjamas, carpet slippers, and a jacket over his pyjama top. Must have walked round the corner like that, which I thought was hilarious.” That house should be a museum. Oh...if those walls could talk!
I was passing through London one time and it happened to be both Father's Day and Paul's birthday. I figured I'd pass by and leave him a greeting card. I stopped a few doors down to sign the card. and just then a young woman stopped at the gate, bent down and quickly slipped something under the gate and started walking in my direction down the sidewalk. I don't think she noticed me until she was a few feet away. We made eye contact and I gave her a slight knowing smile, which she returned. I then went to the gate and slipped my card, adding it to hers.
Well done dude! I have remained a huge Beatles fan since February 9, 1964 and I really enjoyed your little tour of Paul's London house. Thanks for the visit.
Great mini tour ! I visit Abbey Road every year & always take that 5 minute walk to Paul's house on 7 Cavendish Ave.If your a true Beatles fan like myself & Augustin,when in London,take the walk, you won't be sorry.
Beautiful house! I met Fab Macca by chance one day in the very early ‘70’s, at Apex Corner on the A1. I was working at a hardware store & was outside putting some stuff in a van for delivery when I noticed a Rolls Royce convertible pull up. A very luxy motor to see in that location, it had the soft top down & sitting inside were Fab Macca & Linda! Watching him get out of the car was extraordinary... he had an aura about him that I couldn’t quite believe... as he walked past he obviously noticed me gawping at him open jawed, and said ‘hi!’, I returned the greeting & asked what he was doing in the somewhat odd neighbourhood that surrounds Apex Corner... “we’ve come to feed the horses” was his reply, there used to be horses left to graze in a field further along the A41 near Spur Road & he bought some carrots for them at the greengrocers then he was back in the Roller & gone!
Wow! Hi Agustin! I used to live in Abbey Road when I worked at St Mary's for a couple of years. I didn't know Paul McCartney lives nearby. I should have gone there as well. Nice vlog by the way
I was in a petrol station in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpudlian by the way, and I was standing looking at the drinks in the cooler and some woman nudged me and said "He look Paul McCartney's standing next to you?" I turned and looked and he was also looking at the drinks, I turned back to the lady and said, "Excuse me I'm not standing next to him, he's standing next to me"! What's the big deal? I went and paid for my drink.
It's the only house in the street that has a street lamp in the front garden. You can see it in your pictures. She Came In Through The Bathroom Window ( Abbey Road Album) was written because a fan broke into the bathroom window in that house. It was at this house where Paul threw out Ringo, after Ringo went round to ask Paul not to release his McCartney album, because it would clash with the release of Let It Be. Paul got angry. Threw Ringo out. When Ringo told John Lennon, he went round and threw a brick through Paul's window. Ah! The good old days!! 😂😂
Back in 1969 me and my friend climbed over Paul's gate and took pictures, we looked through the letter box and saw his slippers! We were just seventeen and I still love him! X
@@suecussons7945 I went past his house in Cavendish Avenue, on Sunday, after visiting the Abbey Rd studios gift shop. Unfortunately the gates were closed.
@@wanderer1955 hi maybe one day I'll go down memory lane and see how much it's changed!! When we were last in Cavendish Avenue Paul had big metal gates, We went to Saville road and I got John's autograph also Ringo's and lot's of others who had songs on the apple label Do you remember Marsha Hunt?
LOVELY ! Sir Paul McCartney was my favourite among the Beatles. He always stood out in the singing and good looks. Not a Beatles fan, though I do like their songs. I am a Paul McCartney fan.💙
I really enjoyed your video your a wealth of knowledge Agustin. My father did some glazing work for Paul when he first bought the house and then got his autograph for my sister.
Very good video. I always admired Paul's sentimental side. I didn't realize that he kept that London home, but am not surprised. It's not only a familiar place for him, but fans like me instantly recognize it. I live a fairly short distance from Paul and Nancy's Hamptons NY home and wish I could get the chance to see him.
My first visit to London way back in 1983, I found myself in St. John's Wood. ( I must have known Paul had a house there), but I didn't know it was in Cavendish road, and I wouldn't have known which house it was anyway, but I remember feeling at the time that I could be in close proximity to McCartney while I walked that neighbourhood. I enjoyed seeing the house, after all these years
The Beatles did not record ALL their music at Abbey Road, they also recorded at both Trident and Olympic studios in London and Marconi studios in Paris .
Linda McCartney is from my hometown of Scarsdale NY (Yoko lived there too, for a time, with her family). The Eastmans no long live at 4 Dolma Rd. of course, but back in high school, I had a friend who lived in the same street. The Eastmans had quite a lovely stucco house on a big property but not too over-the-top like many of the houses there.
Thank you so much! When I was 15 I started listening to them a lot. I was already playing guitar and piano and I thought their songs were amazing! I had a few friends who were equally obsessed with The Beatles so we shared the love for their music!
I agree. Even if Paul is super-friendly to his fans, he is entitled to his private life undisturbed, just like everyone else. By the way. The house is so normal that anyone could have bought it. It's really nicely nestled in the neighbourhood.
It's a public street, everybody has the right to hang out there. Now, ringing the doorbell, that could be considered annoying Paul, but standing in a public street in front of a house and talking about the house is okay. Paul is rarely there, anyway.
I was walking past the house one morning on my way to work at the hospital there and the police had just discovered the body of Meatloaf's drummer on the steps of the house directly across the street. It was covered with a tarp.
Muy buen video! Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a Macca hace unos años, aunque no ahí. Es un amor de persona. Increíblemente humilde considerando que es el músico vivo más importantes de la historia jajaja. Espero algún día poder visitar Londres y probar suerte en cavendish 👐
Soy Mexicana. I un par de veces que fui a Abbey Road entable conversacion con algun otro fan Mexicano. Y les decia - saben que Paul tiene una casa cercas de aqui? Y los llevaba a conocer. Nunca nos toco verlo pero siempre que andaba cerca me daba una vuelta - por si acaso.
Oh the nostalgia. I was there in 2015 and it was magical (I’m from Mexico, so it wasn’t easy!). My only frustration was not being able to get into the Abbey Road Studios.
I have only been to the UK once back in 1991. Being a Beatles nut I was fortunate enough to visit all of the historical sites in London and Liverpool. While in London I went to Paul's home in this video (St. John's Wood). As soon as I got to his gate a red Mercedes pulled up and stopped near the entrance on the road but not turning into the small area in front of the gate. There was a blond woman sitting in the passenger seat (Linda). A man of roughly mid forties with blondish hair and a blue blazer got out and approached me. I said "this is Paul McCartney's house isn't it"? He said "no he sold it a few years ago now run along". Not one to argue and doubting myself for a moment I apologized and went on my way. I don't know who the man was but the woman was most definitely Linda. Quite a chance occurrence and as close as I've ever gotten to a Beatle.
The day we were there (has it really been two years?!) the gates were open. Nothing going on, particularly, but it was just nice to see inside. Lovely neighborhood, to be sure, with lots of history for those of us of a certain age!
Oh I would love to hear them!!! I was born in Argentina, I am living in Spain now. I have always been a Beatles fan. I am travelling to London in May and I hope to see him at his door. Well, dreams come true, don t you think?
A couple of years ago I managed to get into 3 Savile Row. Went upstairs and onto the roof. Was eerie. The same railings were there from the concert. Just sat there where Yoko was sitting then went to where Ringo was drumming. Spine tingling to say the least. Nice video by the way.
Pauls London address is common knowledge, just hop into a black cab and ask the driver to take you to Pauls house. I'm sure 7 Cavendish Avenue has proper security.
In the early 80s when I lived in SJW, some friends and I got over the wall and entered his garden to find this kind of space age dome, featuring a bed on a hydaulic lift to lift it higher in to the dome - Completely trippy!
I got to meet paul and linda at opryland in 74, I have a picture of them holding my oldest son, then a few weeks later got to meet them again and the entire wings band, at Jr's farm in lebanon tenn. in 74, I gave him a painting for his birthday and always wondered what he did with it.
Actually it's time, to build a massive Beatles monument there at Abbey Road. It would be another tourist attraction in addition to the zebra crossing and Macca's house.😀🎼🎶🎵
@@agustinkafka25 I'm from Germany and I have to say, that I'm a little ashamed of these wire frames in Hamburg ...😱😆 They should have come up with something better.
Paul's doors used to be green metal with of course no cameras. Also there was black writing on the brick walls about Linda re her groupie sexual past which was left on there for years. The house was not classy and cleaned up and pristine white like in the current video but had mismatched colours and no lantern. The house had a rundown appearance which was more in keeping with how Paul lived. The house's redo was done during his time with Heather Mills.
Hello, I was there at Paul's house years ago...I took photos of the house...I could not see over the fence so I stood on top of the Taxi Cab I took there. There was a lady looking out of a window....I was lucky she didn't call the Police....someone told me that Paul had just left in his Roll's ...John from North Carolina.
Last I read he has a country estate in East Sussex where he and Nancy spend most of their time. He has a place on Long Island and he recently sold his penthouse in Manhattan. He still does concerts so I think he travels a lot. He owns a ranch in Arizona and has a home in Los Angeles.
I was as interested in St John's Wood as Paul McCartney's home. As an avid reader of British Mysteries and vintage British Literature in general, the setting is often in St John's Wood. I had always thought of it as more suburban than it is. Of course, many years ago it perhaps seemed more so. It certainly was a setting that suggested affluence even then.
If you are talking about Sherlock Holmes and the literature of the Victorian age London was smaller then. St John's Wood at the beginning of the 19th century was on the edge of the area where the better off lived. It and to an even greater extra its neighbour Maida Vale, were where rich men kept their mistresses. Hence why many houses in the area have a walkway between the front gate and the front door covered in frosted glass. During the Victorian era there was a very rapid expansion of the railways and a huge increase in the population, London became for a time the largest city in the world. Over time St John's Wood became a quiet enclave of the well to do, which it still is today.
HELLO, I HAVE BEEN TO THE SAME HOUSE ON ABBEY ROAD , ITRIED TO GET PHOTO TOO, I COULDN'T SEE OVER THE FENCE SO I GOT ON TOP OF THE TAXI CAB I GOT THERE IN AND TOOK PHOTOS , THERE WAS A LADY , MUST BEEN HIS HOUSE KEEPER LOOKING OUT OF A WINDOW , LUCKY FOR ME SHE DIDN'T CALL THE POLICE , THIS WAS YEARS AGO , JOHN FROM NORTH CAROLINA .. .
@@agustinkafka25 I MEET A MAN THAT WORKED FOR PAUL , HE SAID PAUL JUST LEFT IN HIS ROLLS ,IT WAS A GREEN CAR , SAME CAR THAT WAS IN THE LET IT BE MOVIE .
Я, когда приезжаю в Лондон, каждый раз прихожу на Cavendish avenue и фотографируюсь возле его дома с 2003 года. К сожалению ни разу не удалось увидеть его воочию. У меня заветная мечта, получить его автограф и вместе сфотографироваться!
Wow, so you live in there! How great. It is such a beautiful place. In 1970 I used to visit this sidewalk almost every day during the month of July, He was in Scotland. But let me correct you about something. Nobody know why Jane Asher left Paul. Maybe she found him with another woman, but possibly not, as iPaul was not so dumb like that. He would have noticed she was arriving. But the main reason we don't is: Jane never said her reasons to anybody. Paul also never said anything. So it is impossible to know why she said "enough". It is very easy to imagine the reason was such an common thing. People like to imagine...and usually have not a good imagination. The prefer to repeat what happened to Cynthia and John. But Jane knew very well Paul had other affairs. That would not shock her that much. I heard they had a open relationship. Anyway, the couple that worked for them sold their story not only to Australia. Also to Brazil. I am Brazilian and read their information about Paul in three chapters in a Brazilian newspaper. By the way he didn't say Jane found him with another woman. He said the house had other people. A prince called Stash was living with him too and had left only one day before. Anyway, he only listened when she said: Enough. And left. Thank you for the video and contratulation for living in such a beautiful area.
Jane Asher caught Paul with a girl called Frannie Schwartz who he used to knock around with at the time. It was at the period that he'd just met Linda (or just getting interested in her). I've read that it was deliberately set up by Paul to facilitate the break-up with Jane but he didn't want Linda involved.
@@agustinkafka25 ye was in London for the weekend with my dad. We are also from Liverpool so Paul was pleased to meet fellow scousers and we talked for about 15-20 minutes

Beatles recorded most of their records at Abby road,the in saville row for apple,and where they did their last public performance,that only they saw,and people on the street to hear.
Yes! They also recorded some of their stuff at Olympic Studios when EMI studios where fully booked! Just for the sake of this video I said they recorded all their music at Abbey Road, for some reason but thanks for pointing that out!

Thank you!! Yes, he still keeps the house although he doesn't spend much time there!
I was in a petrol station in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpudlian by the way, and I was standing looking at the drinks in the cooler and some woman nudged me and said "He look Paul McCartney's standing next to you?" I turned and looked and he was also looking at the drinks, I turned back to the lady and said, "Excuse me I'm not standing next to him, he's standing next to me"!
What's the big deal? I went and paid for my drink.
It's the only house in the street that has a street lamp in the front garden. You can see it in your pictures. She Came In Through The Bathroom Window ( Abbey Road Album) was written because a fan broke into the bathroom window in that house. It was at this house where Paul threw out Ringo, after Ringo went round to ask Paul not to release his McCartney album, because it would clash with the release of Let It Be. Paul got angry. Threw Ringo out. When Ringo told John Lennon, he went round and threw a brick through Paul's window. Ah! The good old days!! 😂😂
So much history! ☺️☺️
Thanks for this story...I didn't know anything about John's brick attack 😁
Back in 1969 me and my friend climbed over Paul's gate and took pictures, we looked through the letter box and saw his slippers! We were just seventeen and I still love him! X
@@suecussons7945 I went past his house in Cavendish Avenue, on Sunday, after visiting the Abbey Rd studios gift shop. Unfortunately the gates were closed.
@@wanderer1955 hi maybe one day I'll go down memory lane and see how much it's changed!! When we were last in Cavendish Avenue Paul had big metal gates, We went to Saville road and I got John's autograph also Ringo's and lot's of others who had songs on the apple label Do you remember Marsha Hunt?
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Not me tho :)
Do me a favor, open the door, and let ‘em in 😂
@ Poly. Thanks . Great tune 😊
great video agustin! thanks for the up to date tour :)
Thank you!!
Thank you for this video... That seems like peace in the neighbourhood to me...
Thank you!! Yes :)
nice to know Paul bought the house all those years ago and still owns it. He must have many good memories
Yeah!
Yeah, smoking POT. That is terrrible! You guys all idolize these people yet they were drug users.
@@Cindybin46😂😂😂😂
I MET Paul back in 2001 ,we hugged and laughed, the most down to earth guy I've ever met ,love ya paul
That's awesome! Lucky you!
But you realize he thinks nothing is wrong with smoking pot? He also had many affairs, and even hired prostitutes!
@@Cindybin46 The Dickens you say!
LOVELY ! Sir Paul McCartney was my favourite among the Beatles. He always stood out in the singing and good looks. Not a Beatles fan, though I do like their songs. I am a Paul McCartney fan.💙
You don't meet people who like Paul but not the Beatles every day!
@Paul Maccartney
Is this real? Hello any way!
How is the lockdown treating you.?
Stay safe. God bless you.
@Paul Maccartney
I am a Malaysian.
Have you been here?
@Paul Maccartney what is that?
@@agustinkafka25 There is some confusion on your website.
My earliest memories are of The Beatles, on The Ed Sullivan Show. I am now 62, and still fascinated with The Beatles.
That’s so good that you got to see that !
I really enjoyed your video your a wealth of knowledge Agustin. My father did some glazing work for Paul when he first bought the house and then got his autograph for my sister.
Thank you so much! That's so cool! 🙂
Very good video. I always admired Paul's sentimental side. I didn't realize that he kept that London home, but am not surprised. It's not only a familiar place for him, but fans like me instantly recognize it. I live a fairly short distance from Paul and Nancy's Hamptons NY home and wish I could get the chance to see him.
Yeah! If I were Paul I would have kept this house too, it's really nice and close to everything! I hope you get the chance to see him!!
My first visit to London way back in 1983, I found myself in St. John's Wood. ( I must have known Paul had a house there), but I didn't know it was in Cavendish road, and I wouldn't have known which house it was anyway, but I remember feeling at the time that I could be in close proximity to McCartney while I walked that neighbourhood. I enjoyed seeing the house, after all these years
I'm glad to hear that! Thanks!! 🙂🙂
Cavendish Avenue, actually. There are a few Cavendish Roads in London that have nothing to do with that street....
The Beatles did not record ALL their music at Abbey Road, they also recorded at both Trident and Olympic studios in London and Marconi studios in Paris .
yees, I don't know why I said "All of their music" I meant to say most of their music. Thanks!!
And Apple studios in Saville Row.
I already knew everything, being a hardcore Paul fan, but this brought me tears 😭 I hope to see him one day...
Aww thanks !
I totally understand you.
Hello cool video....I like the music too.....John From North Carolina......
Thank you so much John! I'm glad you liked it!
It’s a lovely video! Say hello to Paul when you see him again.
I hope I see him again soon! Haha
Well done my friend,great work!Keep safe!💚😑
Thank you so much John!
Linda McCartney is from my hometown of Scarsdale NY (Yoko lived there too, for a time, with her family). The Eastmans no long live at 4 Dolma Rd. of course, but back in high school, I had a friend who lived in the same street. The Eastmans had quite a lovely stucco house on a big property but not too over-the-top like many of the houses there.
Ooh I didn't know Yoko lived there for some time !
Paul remains a world treasure. Nice video.. Great to see there are still many younger fans..
Thank you so much! Yes! There's lots of us :)
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day also how did you get interested with the beatles
Thank you so much! When I was 15 I started listening to them a lot. I was already playing guitar and piano and I thought their songs were amazing! I had a few friends who were equally obsessed with The Beatles so we shared the love for their music!
estuve en abbey road en feb 24 durante mis vacaciones, tenia la sensación de que paul vivía por ahí, pero no tenia la dirección lamentablemente.
Ya sabes para la proxima!
por curiosidad, sos argentino?@@agustinkafka25
Mate, that was a great video, love your knowledge and enthusiasm. You should come down to Australia one day, the ladies would love your accent.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! Haha, I'll keep that in mind! I would love to visit Australia within the next year
Great video! A real insight into Macca's London place
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
I love him sooooo much! I was at his door once but I did not see him. I will go again in May!
Don’t stalk Paul !!! He doesn’t need fans to hang around his house. Leave him alone Have some Respect
I agree. Even if Paul is super-friendly to his fans, he is entitled to his private life undisturbed, just like everyone else.
By the way. The house is so normal that anyone could have bought it. It's really nicely nestled in the neighbourhood.
It's a public street, everybody has the right to hang out there. Now, ringing the doorbell, that could be considered annoying Paul, but standing in a public street in front of a house and talking about the house is okay. Paul is rarely there, anyway.
I was walking past the house one morning on my way to work at the hospital there and the police had just discovered the body of Meatloaf's drummer on the steps of the house directly across the street. It was covered with a tarp.
Blackbird...thank you for this Video.

Great video. You are a cool dude. 😎
Thanks!
Muy buen video! Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a Macca hace unos años, aunque no ahí. Es un amor de persona. Increíblemente humilde considerando que es el músico vivo más importantes de la historia jajaja. Espero algún día poder visitar Londres y probar suerte en cavendish 👐
Soy Mexicana. I un par de veces que fui a Abbey Road entable conversacion con algun otro fan Mexicano. Y les decia - saben que Paul tiene una casa cercas de aqui? Y los llevaba a conocer. Nunca nos toco verlo pero siempre que andaba cerca me daba una vuelta - por si acaso.
Oh the nostalgia. I was there in 2015 and it was magical (I’m from Mexico, so it wasn’t easy!). My only frustration was not being able to get into the Abbey Road Studios.
Yeah it's a shame that it's not opened to the public!
Lots of things I didn't know. Thanks !
Awesome! Thank you!
I have only been to the UK once back in 1991. Being a Beatles nut I was fortunate enough to visit all of the historical sites in London and Liverpool. While in London I went to Paul's home in this video (St. John's Wood). As soon as I got to his gate a red Mercedes pulled up and stopped near the entrance on the road but not turning into the small area in front of the gate. There was a blond woman sitting in the passenger seat (Linda). A man of roughly mid forties with blondish hair and a blue blazer got out and approached me. I said "this is Paul McCartney's house isn't it"? He said "no he sold it a few years ago now run along". Not one to argue and doubting myself for a moment I apologized and went on my way. I don't know who the man was but the woman was most definitely Linda. Quite a chance occurrence and as close as I've ever gotten to a Beatle.
Great story!! I've never seen anyone outside the house :(
The day we were there (has it really been two years?!) the gates were open. Nothing going on, particularly, but it was just nice to see inside. Lovely neighborhood, to be sure, with lots of history for those of us of a certain age!
That's so cool! I haven't seen anything going on in the house yet :(
My Dad and Grandparents were his neighbours I have a few interesting stories he sounds like a cool guy
That’s so cool!
Oh I would love to hear them!!! I was born in Argentina, I am living in Spain now. I have always been a Beatles fan. I am travelling to London in May and I hope to see him at his door. Well, dreams come true, don t you think?
I saw him once walking around the Lord Cricket Ground. Magical
Like casually going for a walk? That's great. Just around the corner, he probably went to the shop for some milk or something lol
Great vídeo! So interesting. Thanks
I'm glad you find it interesting! Thanks!
Nice one Brother! Miss walking on those St. John’s Woods streets... Cheers
Thanks Arthur!!
You forgot to mention the glass observatory dome in the back garden
You can not see the dome from the front gate
@@johncoleman6164 Doesn't stop you mentioning it
A couple of years ago I managed to get into 3 Savile Row. Went upstairs and onto the roof. Was eerie. The same railings were there from the concert. Just sat there where Yoko was sitting then went to where Ringo was drumming. Spine tingling to say the least. Nice video by the way.
That's a great story! I'm gonna make a video there too! And I'm glad you liked it! Thanks!
Yeah...that should be part of The Beatles tour!.....✌🏻
@@frankhornby6873 It was! That's how I managed to sneak in.
Pauls London address is common knowledge, just hop into a black cab and ask the driver to take you to Pauls house. I'm sure 7 Cavendish Avenue has proper security.
In the early 80s when I lived in SJW, some friends and I got over the wall and entered his garden to find this kind of space age dome, featuring a bed on a hydaulic lift to lift it higher in to the dome - Completely trippy!
Yes! The dome!
Wow, can’t believe y’all had the guts to do that!
The bed that you saw there was a "regift!" I think it was given to Paul by Alice Cooper who got it from Groucho Marx
It's amazing he's on this house for all those years you think he would have sold it along the way but it's a special house I don't blame him....
Definitely! And also It's a great house :)
His main residence is in Sussex but this house is very handy when he or his family are in London.
3:51 I don’t blame you I’m sure most of us would’ve reacted the same way! 😅
I got to meet paul and linda at opryland in 74, I have a picture of them holding my oldest son, then a few weeks later got to meet them again and the entire wings band, at Jr's farm in lebanon tenn. in 74, I gave him a painting for his birthday and always wondered what he did with it.
You rock mate! 🤟
Thanks! 🍻
Can you do a blog on George Harrison and Ringo Starr's childhood
I've done Ringo's already! It's on my channel! And I recorded the video showing George's house but I haven't edited that yet
Love ❤️ Paul McCartney
Me too!
Actually it's time, to build a massive Beatles monument there at Abbey Road. It would be another tourist attraction in addition to the zebra crossing and Macca's house.😀🎼🎶🎵
I totally think they should! There's monuments in Liverpool and Hamburg, but not here, which is where most of the magic happened!
@@agustinkafka25 I'm from Germany and I have to say, that I'm a little ashamed of these wire frames in Hamburg ...😱😆 They should have come up with something better.
@@braudabo Haha I haven't seen it yet! But at least they have something!
Agustin Kafka ....NO....MOST OF THE MAGIC HAPPENED......IN THE CAVERN IN LIVERPOOL ....✌🏻
@@frankhornby6873 Fair enough! I'll make a video visiting the Cavern as well!
No seguiría viva incluso si veo a Paul a través de un vidrio jajajajaja espectacular video ♥️
Muchas gracias!!
Te entiendo, jajajaj. Siento lo mismo.
Its full of scaffolding just now! I wonder whats getting done?
Oh really! I’ll check it out tomorrow! 😂
I like Freddy Mercury's house. Garden Lodge in Kensington.
It’s a really nice house in a great area of London!
Paul's doors used to be green metal with of course no cameras. Also there was black writing on the brick walls about Linda re her groupie sexual past which was left on there for years. The house was not classy and cleaned up and pristine white like in the current video but had mismatched colours and no lantern. The house had a rundown
appearance which was more in keeping with how Paul lived. The house's redo was done during his time with Heather Mills.
Thanks for your comment!
Fab!! X
Thanks!!
Hello, I was there at Paul's house years ago...I took photos of the house...I could not see over the fence so I stood on top of the Taxi Cab I took there. There was a lady looking out of a window....I was lucky she didn't call the Police....someone told me that Paul had just left in his Roll's ...John from North Carolina.
That's a great story! I'm glad they didn't call the police lol
.....scary......an American stalking a Beatle......
@@frankhornby6873 no....just trying to get photos...

He spent over 50,000L for that place in 1965..that was a LOT of money back then!
Buenísimo!!!
Muchas gracias!
NiCe job
Thank you!!
@@agustinkafka25 😎👍🏽
Does anyone know whether he still lives there today? I went there a few days ago and it looks quite uninhabitated...
He stays there when he’s in London! But it’s not his main residence anymore
Last I read he has a country estate in East Sussex where he and Nancy spend most of their time. He has a place on Long Island and he recently sold his penthouse in Manhattan. He still does concerts so I think he travels a lot. He owns a ranch in Arizona and has a home in Los Angeles.
Nowadays, Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace.
😊😊
tHanks for the tour,.
Not ring his door bell man, leaving him be
He’s my favourite musician aswell be give him his privacy
Yeah it was a joke
Just subscribed to your channel..I am a big Beatles fan and love this video..thank you so much..👍👍❤️❤️glen kellaway
Thank you so much! That's great cause there's gonna be lots of videos like this!
I was as interested in St John's Wood as Paul McCartney's home. As an avid reader of British Mysteries and vintage British Literature in general, the setting is often in St John's Wood. I had always thought of it as more suburban than it is. Of course, many years ago it perhaps seemed more so. It certainly was a setting that suggested affluence even then.
It's a great area!! Yeah, maybe back then it was more suburban. But it really feels like it!
If you are talking about Sherlock Holmes and the literature of the Victorian age London was smaller then. St John's Wood at the beginning of the 19th century was on the edge of the area where the better off lived. It and to an even greater extra its neighbour Maida Vale, were where rich men kept their mistresses. Hence why many houses in the area have a walkway between the front gate and the front door covered in frosted glass. During the Victorian era there was a very rapid expansion of the railways and a huge increase in the population, London became for a time the largest city in the world. Over time St John's Wood became a quiet enclave of the well to do, which it still is today.
Very nice thank you for this
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!

Я, когда приезжаю в Лондон, каждый раз прихожу на Cavendish avenue и фотографируюсь возле его дома с 2003 года. К сожалению ни разу не удалось увидеть его воочию. У меня заветная мечта, получить его автограф и вместе сфотографироваться!
Wow, so you live in there! How great. It is such a beautiful place. In 1970 I used to visit this sidewalk almost every day during the month of July, He was in Scotland. But let me correct you about something. Nobody know why Jane Asher left Paul. Maybe she found him with another woman, but possibly not, as iPaul was not so dumb like that. He would have noticed she was arriving. But the main reason we don't is: Jane never said her reasons to anybody. Paul also never said anything. So it is impossible to know why she said "enough". It is very easy to imagine the reason was such an common thing. People like to imagine...and usually have not a good imagination. The prefer to repeat what happened to Cynthia and John. But Jane knew very well Paul had other affairs. That would not shock her that much. I heard they had a open relationship.
Anyway, the couple that worked for them sold their story not only to Australia. Also to Brazil. I am Brazilian and read their information about Paul in three chapters in a Brazilian newspaper. By the way he didn't say Jane found him with another woman. He said the house had other people. A prince called Stash was living with him too and had left only one day before. Anyway, he only listened when she said: Enough. And left.
Thank you for the video and contratulation for living in such a beautiful area.
Hi! I'm glad you liked the video and thank you so much for all of this!
Jane Asher caught Paul with a girl called Frannie Schwartz who he used to knock around with at the time. It was at the period that he'd just met Linda (or just getting interested in her). I've read that it was deliberately set up by Paul to facilitate the break-up with Jane but he didn't want Linda involved.
Met him outside there in 2010
Awesome! Did you talk to him?

Beatles recorded most of their records at Abby road,the in saville row for apple,and where they did their last public performance,that only they saw,and people on the street to hear.
Yes! They also recorded some of their stuff at Olympic Studios when EMI studios where fully booked! Just for the sake of this video I said they recorded all their music at Abbey Road, for some reason but thanks for pointing that out!
