Thanks to the Internet and an excess of questionable decisions made by tourists, hours of entertainment are just one click away.
Abbey Road's live feed of its famous pedestrian crossing is tough to turn away from. Even at night, Beatles fans try to replicate one of the most famous album covers of all-time while avoiding speeding vehicles.
Brought to mass attention by Reddit users, the feed has produced some silly photographs in the past few months, including a group of people dressed up as barn animals...
...a man in a submarine costume...
...and four live penguins crossing the road:
(Thanks to the Daily Mail for pointing these out.)
So what's the allure of the camera? Well, every moment is another chance to either witness something spectacular or watch people put their lives at risk.
The Abbey Road website allows users to search for their own "crossing shots" and submit them to the "Wall of Fame," which is a large collection of the best captured moments.
The Beatles recorded Abbey Road in 1969. It was their final recorded album, but their second-to-last album released (preceding Let It Be).
Its cover photo features John, Paul, Ringo and George walking across the pedestrian crossing, and is well-known for lending credence a conspiracy theory that wondered about McCartney's well-being.
The 72-year-old finished up a major tour last month, and has recently been rumored to be working with Kanye West.
In fact, a supposed preview of their song "Piss On Your Grave" leaked onto the Internet a couple weeks ago. Many of the details surrounding West's seventh solo album are still in the dark, and a full version of the McCartney duet is no different.
The Instagram clip that originally featured the song preview has already been removed from the net.
