The Beatles are set to open an official exhibition space at 3 Savile Row in London, the building where the band performed their final live concert, with the attraction expected to launch in 2027.
The Grade II listed mansion served as the band’s headquarters between 1968 and 1972 and was also the location where they recorded their final album, ‘Let It Be’, in the basement studio.
Described as “the first ever official destination for Beatles fans in the heart of London”, the venue will span seven floors and feature memorabilia, archive material and recreated spaces connected to the group’s history.
Sir Paul McCartney told the BBC that he wanted fans to have an official Beatles destination in London.
“Tourists come to England and they can go to Abbey Road, but they can’t go inside and it snarls up the traffic and the drivers get really annoyed,” he said. “So I thought this was a terrific idea.”
The experience, officially titled ‘The Beatles at 3 Savile Row’, will allow visitors to explore the building floor by floor before reaching the rooftop where the band staged its famous final performance in January 1969.
“Well, you go in on the ground floor, and there’s memorabilia and stuff like that,” Sir Paul said. “Then you work your way up through the building, and see various things that happened here and there, until you get to the top, where you go out on the roof and pretend to be a Beatle.”
The attraction will also include a recreation of the basement studio where Let It Be was recorded.
The Beatles’ rooftop concert lasted 42 minutes and included performances of songs such as ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ and ‘Get Back’, before police intervened following complaints from nearby tenants.
Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who filmed the performance, recalled that some members of the band were initially reluctant to go ahead with the concert.
“George didn’t want to do it and Ringo started saying he didn’t really see the point,” he said. “Then John said, ‘Oh, [expletive] it, let’s go do it.’”
The footage from the rooftop concert was later restored for Peter Jackson’s documentary ‘Get Back’.
The building remained the headquarters of Apple Corps after the group split in 1970 before eventually being sold in 1976. It was later used as a retail outlet by fashion company Abercrombie & Fitch.
Sir Paul said the idea of returning to the building came from Apple Corps chief executive Tom Greene, who joined the company in 2025 after previously working on the Harry Potter franchise.
“He’s a live wire and he’s bringing a lot of energy into looking at what the Beatles mean, and what people want these days from us,” Sir Paul said.
Sir Ringo Starr also reflected on revisiting the property recently, saying it felt “like coming home”.
“There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop,” he said in a statement. “The team has put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready.”
Fans can already register for tickets through the band’s official website ahead of the museum’s planned opening in 2027.
