Four stars. The Fab Four - the Beatles - are revered the world over, but it is in these urban centres that their legacy shines brightest. Liverpool: where the band graduated from church halls, leaving their initial line-up as 'The Quarrymen' far behind. Hamburg: where their raucous stage act was honed; where arrests earned them a more notorious celebrity reputation, but they became a true emblem of rock 'n' roll. London: where The Beatles produced \u003ci\u003eSgt Pepper\u003c\/i\u003e, and home to the iconic album cover for \u003ci\u003eAbbey Road\u003c\/i\u003e.
