The Beatles’ former London headquarters, where the band performed for the last time on the rooftop, may become an Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF) store after planning authorities recommended the proposal over objections from retailers in the area.
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 property
is close to century-old tailors’ shops like Gieves & Hawkes, H. Huntsman & Sons and Henry Poole & Co.
The building housed the offices of the Beatles’ Apple Records label when
the band’s final performance was filmed, 44 years ago today, for the
movie “Let It Be.” Abercrombie, whose stores for teens and adults are
known for their nightclub vibe with shirtless employees and subdued
lighting, shouldn’t be allowed to have models stand at the entrances,
hold promotional events featuring celebrities at the shop or play loud
music, planners recommended.
