If you can’t make it to Liverpool on your next trip to England but you’re a Beatles fan, there are plenty of places in and around London where you can pick up the trail of the Fab Four.
A new book called “The Beatles’ London: A Guide to 467 Beatles Sites in and around London,” published by the Northampton-based Interlink Publishing Group, shows you where they performed and recorded, where they lived, where they filmed movies, press pictures and album covers, and even where they ate, partied and married. The band members lived and worked in the city beginning in 1963.
Places where the group performed included the London Palladium, 7-8 Argyll Street, and the Prince Of Wales Theatre, 31 Coventry St., where the audience for one gig included the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. In 1963 they briefly lived together at 57 Green St., until fans outside became such a nuisance that they had to leave, and they conducted the business side of their enterprise in various locations, included Apple headquarters at 3 Savile Row.
Most of their recordings were made at the famous Abbey Road Studios, 3 Abbey Road, but it was in a basement at 57 Wimpole St. where Paul McCartney and John Lennon once sat at a piano and wrote “I Want To Hold Your Hand” in 1963.

Fans of Winnie the Pooh have a final opportunity to see their favorite bear this weekend at Century Theater.
Although the performance is primarily for children under 7 years old, at the opening performance on Wednesday a significant proportion of the audience were grown up Winnie fans born in the 1980s and 90s.
The Disney stage play put an emphasis on costumes and scenery in order to provide a vivid impression of Winnie’s life. Producer Kenny Field hopes the production will encourage young kids to become interested in stage plays.
The storyline follows Winnie and his friends in the jungle, and illustrates his passion for life and honey.
For many grown-ups in the theater, Winnie has been their friend for decades and they have drawn simple life lessons from him, such as being happy but determined.
“Winnie is a friend to people of all ages. His cute outlook attracts the attention of kids and his integrity, kindness and a healthy way of living touches the hearts of grown-ups who have working pressures. He is a life-long buddy,” says Joseph Liu, manager of Feld Entertainment China.
19:30, Aug 26-30. Century Theater, Liangmaqiao Lu, Chaoyang district. 6488-3311
