Meanwhile another reviewer was left wanting more as they took to the website to tell others it "Is just a road".

A safety conscious visitor to the crossing gave the attraction a four out of five warning "Beware of traffic" while another reviewer claimed the "Traffic ruined it".

The iconic crossing has managed to please some fans who have visited Abbey Road who have awarded the attraction top marks.

Another visitor also gave the crossing full marks saying "Does not disappoint!"
