A Day Out at Abbey Road and Primrose Hill

Went for a walk up at Primrose Hill and then on to Abbey Road last Saturday - here're some shots of the day.


Looking towards Primrose Hill.




On top of the hill looking towards central London.



Once home to victorian chef and inventor Alexia Soyer who is famous for helping alleviate the suffering of the Irish poor in the Great Irish Famine (1845-1849). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Soyer

Once home to Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 – 5 August 1895) a German social scientist, author, political theorist, philosopher, and father of communist theory, alongside Karl Marx. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Engels

The well grafittied wall outside Abbey Road studios.


Some tourists reenact the cover of The Beatles - Abbey Road album. Slightly cheesy!
