Before the Beatles became one of the most iconic bands in music history, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were four young musicians sharing an apartment in London. Fast-forward more than six decades, and the building where the group once lived is back in the spotlight. Tucked away on Green Street, one of Mayfair’s most coveted addresses, a newly renovated three-bedroom apartment has hit the market for £4.5 million (roughly $6 million).
Back in 1963, as Beatlemania began taking over London before eventually making its way to fans in the U.S., the band’s manager, Brian Epstein, secured a top-floor apartment to offer the musicians some peace and privacy amid the chaos of their newfound fame. The building even served as the backdrop for an early publicity photograph featured on the December 1963 cover of The Beatles Book. Although the residence currently for sale isn’t their exact apartment, it sits just one floor below.
Dating back to the 1890s, the Victorian building was designed by architect Sir Robert William Edis, with a red-brick exterior and decorative terracotta detailing for historic London charm.
Inside, the 1,297-square-foot residence features herringbone parquet floors, high ceilings and four large sash windows that fill the open-concept living space with natural light. The custom walnut kitchen features Carrara marble countertops and integrated appliances, while the primary suite offers a separate dressing area and marble bathroom with a beautiful freestanding tub. Two additional bedrooms complete the home.
Just steps away from Bond Street, Oxford Street and Hyde Park, this apartment combines a coveted London address with a history that very few properties can match.
The residence is currently listed with Wetherell for £4.5 million.
