Beatles’ Final Gig Rooftop Becomes Museum
The Beatles are set to open their first official museum in London next year, transforming the historic Savile Row building where the legendary band recorded Let It Be and performed their final live concert.
Called “The Beatles at 3 Savile Row,” the attraction will occupy seven floors of the iconic Mayfair property once used as the headquarters of Apple Corps. The museum will showcase previously unseen archive materials, interactive exhibits, and a recreated basement recording studio where the band worked on their 1970 album Let It Be.
One of the museum’s main highlights will be public access to the famous rooftop where The Beatles staged their unforgettable January 1969 performance — their last appearance together in front of a live audience.
Speaking to the BBC, Paul McCartney said the idea came from renewed discussions about the band’s cultural legacy and what modern fans hope to experience.
“Tourists come to England and they can go to Abbey Road, but they can’t go inside,” McCartney explained, adding that the new museum offers fans a deeper connection to the band’s history.
The Savile Row property served as Apple Corps’ headquarters from 1968 and remained closely tied to the band even after their breakup in 1970. According to Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene, visitors from around the world already gather outside the building daily to photograph the famous location.
Beginning next year, fans will finally be able to explore the interior, including the rooftop where many of the original features — including the railings seen during the rooftop concert — still remain intact.
The rooftop performance gained renewed attention after restored footage appeared in The Beatles: Get Back, directed by Peter Jackson.
McCartney said the museum experience will allow visitors to move through the building’s history floor by floor before eventually stepping onto the roof and “pretending to be a Beatle.”
The attraction will also include rotating exhibitions and an official merchandise store. In a statement, McCartney described the building as filled with “special memories,” while Ringo Starr called the project “like coming home.”
Further details — including information about a second Beatles-themed experience currently under development — are expected to be announced later. Fans can already register for tickets through the band’s official website.
While Liverpool, the band’s hometown, already features Beatles attractions such as the Liverpool Beatles Museum and The Beatles Story, the new London museum will be the first officially licensed Beatles exhibition in the capital.
