The site of Let it Be and THAT final Rooftop performance.

The Beatles parted ways in 1970, but Beatlemania has never really gone away.

If anything, in recent years the love for the band has grown even greater, helped along by bonus track-packed reissues, the Get Back documentary series and even the band's final new song 'Now and Then'.

But one thing the band don't have is a permanent, official space to celebrate them.

From 2027, that's going to change, with The Beatles launching their own museum in the most appropriate of places.

3 Savile Row was not just the one-time HQ of Apple Corps. It was in the basement of the building where the band recorded Let It Be, and on its rooftop that they played their last ever public concert.

And from next year, it will host a whopping seven floors of Beatles goodness, including rotating exhibits and a never-seen-before archive, as well as a recreated basement recording studio and yes, that rooftop.

“It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around," said Sir Paul McCartney of the museum, which is dubbed The Beatles at 3 Savile Row.

"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."

Sir Ringo Starr added: "Wow, it’s like coming home."

Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene said: "We're thrilled to bring Apple Corps back to its spiritual home and give The Beatles fans something truly special.

"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."

Many more details are sure to be unveiled between now and opening day, but for now we know that the museum will be a ticketed affair and that a second as-yet unknown experience is currently being developed.
