Beatles site may become Abercrombie shop
The Beatles’ former London headquarters, where the band performed for the last time on the rooftop, may become an Abercrombie & Fitch store after planning authorities recommended the proposal, following objections from area retailers. The U.S. company intends to open a children’s outlet at 3 Savile Row, which is listed as a historic preservation site, according to documents sent to the Westminster borough council before a vote next week. The building housed the offices of the Beatles’ Apple Records label when the band’s final 1969 performance was filmed for the movie “Let It Be.”
