A new Transport for London sign has been put up in Abbey Road station to help confused tourists, looking for The Beatles' Abbey Road. See a photo of the sign below.
The station in West Ham was recently named Abbey Road, despite being 10 miles away from the zebra crossing on The Beatles' iconic album cover.
In order to help confused tourists, who will find themselves in the wrong place while looking for Abbey Road, Transport for London staff have made a new sign giving them directions to the right place.
The sign includes a number of references to The Beatles' songs, including Day Tripper, Help, Ticket To Ride, Get Back and We Can Work It Out.
It directs tourists to St John's Wood station, from which they can visit the iconic location outside Abbey Road studios.

A photo of the poster was posted on Twitter by Tom Hasson, and quickly went viral.
A spokesperson for Transport for London said, "This poster displayed at the station will help [tourists] find their way to where they want to be.
"We hope the humour in it may help alleviate their dismay at finding themselves so far off course as they realise they are not the only ones to have made the mistake."
