A Knightsbridge flat that was home to two of The Beatles is available to let.
Ringo Starr and George Harrison, along with Harrison’s fiancée,
Pattie Boyd, moved into Whaddon House, William Mews, in 1964 at the
height of Beatlemania.
The three-bedroom apartment, where Brian Epstein made a temporary rooftop ballroom, is available for £1,600 a week.
Beatles manager Brian Epstein lived upstairs on the fifth floor.
Epstein hosted numerous parties in the block, including one to
celebrate the band’s world tour with guests including the Fab Four, Mick
Jagger, Keith Richards and Judy Garland.
The celebrations spread to the roof of the building, where a
temporary ballroom, complete with a red carpet, was set up in a
marquee.
It was at the flat that the group met for a cup of tea before they
went to Buckingham Palace to receive their MBEs from the Queen in 1965.
Today the three-bedroom apartment, pictures below, in a portered
building, has been tastefully decorated. It is listed with John D Wood
& Co at £1,600 a week.
