Beatles_-_Abbey_Road.jpg‎ (500 × 500 pixel, file size: 282 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Cover of The Beatles album, Abbey Road.

The view really is Abbey Road, London, NW8 looking north. The gates of the Abbey Road Studios are behind the white VW Beetle on the left, which, according to some proponents of the "Paul Is Dead" conspiracy theory, was parked there intentionally as a rebus.

There have been many homages to this iconic cover.

  4. In Abbey Road (album), its inclusion is the only possible way to illustrate the subject of the article.
