UK Grants Abbey Road Studios Historic Status

London’s Abbey Road Studios was declared a national landmark this week by the United Kingdom government, according to CNN.com. The Beatles, one of the most famous bands of all time in both Britain and the United States, are credited with making the music complex a cultural icon.

The band recorded “All You Need is Love” and numerous other hits in the studios, and were also photographed crossing the actual Abbey Road for the cover of their album of the same name.

The building is being listed as a Grade II, or protected status. This means that although there are no prohibitions to altering the interior of the building, care must be taken to ensure that any changes “with respect to its character and interest are fully considered.”
