The Beatles played their last-ever gig on the rooftop of Apple Corps in 1969 – now it’s set to open to the public as a new fan experience
The first-ever official Beatles fan experience is due to open in 2027 at 3 Savile Row in Mayfair, London, where the Fab Four played their final gig.
3 Savile Row is a Grade II listed mansion, and was one of the original headquarters for Apple Corps Ltd, the band’s multimedia company. They recorded their final album, Let It Be, in its basement, and played their last gig on its rooftop in 1969.

Its launch next year will allow fans access to seven floors of never-before-seen material from Apple Corps’ archives, rotating exhibitions, a fan store, as well as a recreation of the original studio where Let it Be was recorded, as per NME.
Ringo Starr says “It’s like coming home”, while Paul McCartney adds: “It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around. There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready.”
Apple Corps’ CEO Tom Greene says, “Every single day fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Savile Row – but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969.”
