Marylebone Station, London

If you want to truly walk in the footsteps of John, George and Ringo, head to Boston Place (along the right side of the Marylebone Station), the setting for the opening scenes of "A Hard Day's Night". The station's distinctive iron and glass canopy is clearly visible in the movie – perhaps more so than the platform itself, where the three were filmed running down to catch a moving train.

The station was closed to the public on Sundays, providing an ideal setting for filming without disruptions. On the first Sunday in April 1964, a horde of over a hundred screaming fans were filmed chasing after The Beatles, while on the following Sunday, the band acted in the deserted station without any onlookers.

The young girls fervently chasing after The Beatles in the scenes were extras, but they were also genuine Beatles enthusiasts, requiring no persuasion to pursue the band. During the filming of the train sequences, it was here that George Harrison first crossed paths with Patti Boyd, who was an extra at the time. This chance meeting eventually led to their marriage, and she later experienced the peak of The Beatles' popularity alongside George.
