Kenwood

Interior pictures of Cavendish Avenue are fairly rare, but here's one of John and Yoko in the living room, in 1969. This room, overlooki...

This one taken by two Iraqi students, who found themselves sharing the train to Bangor with assorted table-tappers, on August 25, 1967. Luck...

Beat Instrumental, the Beatles Monthly's sister publication, also covered the June '67 visit to Kenwood, and featured an article abo...

So, what became of the boot? Local magazine Surrey Life has uncovered the answer. It turns out the boot was at Kenwood for no time at all. T...

...and the same view 40 years later, courtesy of Joe Baiardi. Thanks to him for sending this in. (NB: Joe's images should not be reprodu...

An image (at least purported to be) from spring, 1969. It's still unclear when John and Yoko finally vacated Kenwood, but possibly aroun...

Yet another attic photo appears, this time showing the hitherto unseen end of John's studio, which turns out to have housed... yet anoth...

Another couple of photos from last year, with Schwingin' Shikshtiesh equivalents for comparative purposes. The southern portion of Kenwo...

Paul may have owned the house at Cavendish Avenue for almost half a century, but he has been fairly canny about allowing pictures of the in...

Julian has also spotted that the motif on that Kenwood stationary is the same as on the roof of the limo. I seem to recall that the limo sym...

The events and chronology pertaining to the beginning of John & Yoko's relationship remain murky, but one thing the tomes seem to ag...

A slight variation from THIS sequence (the photographer has moved a bit), and what I reckon was one of the final photos taken on June 29, 1...

Another speck of dust: A receipt for cleaning services pertaining to the month of February 1967 at Kenwood. Not cheap, either. Whether Dot J...

Master Nernie also sent me the above pic a while back, taken somewhere inside Kenwood in late 1968. I'm pretty sure it shows the breakfa...

The enthralling scene outside the internal entrance to the ground floor flat at Montagu Square, the day after Sgt Pilcher et al had so rudel...

Before bothering with the amusing "Yawn" comments, I know these have been on before. However the 2006 photo is uncropped for the f...

The first place John lived in London was the Royal Court Hotel on Sloane Square. Though it's changed its name, the exterior looks much t...

For those interested in the structural changes which took place during the mid-90s at Kenwood, this is about as full an account as exists, a...

A bizarre ad from the pages of IT, June 1968. That looks like John's "handiwerk". With the emphasis on enjoyment, indeed. Than...

Peter Brown's book, whilst appallingly bad on detail (compare some of his detailed descriptions of Kenwood with the photos on this blog)...

Another little piece of the sunroom has survived - the altar cross evident in the French seamstress pics. It was sold at auction by Cynthia ...

The above shows Weybridge train station in 1979. Enthralling stuff. However, it's very close to Kenwood, and is mentioned in the followi...

After all this sunroom "discourse", a ghostly fan photo offers a partial view ca. Two Virgins, as far as I can gather. What that t...

The last bit of the sunroom puzzle - final proof that it was indeed commissioned by John. Gerry tells me that his father's firm built su...

Gerry has found another bit of the sunroom plan - so this is actually the final section.

The second and final part of the plan for the original sunroom. Many thanks again to Gerry Taylor for sending this in.

Gerry Taylor has very kindly sent a scan of the original side elevation plan for the sunroom at Kenwood, together with some new information ...

A ca.2006 photo showing the other end of the sunroom in its modern day incarnation. The current structure is slightly bigger, and certainly ...

One "upgrade" and one "new" pic from the terrace just outside the sunroom, December 1968, again, again.

Another "new" photo, taken on the drive at Kenwood in early December, 1968.

In the first half of 1968, Apple resided not at Savile Row, but at 95 Wigmore Street, where the corps occupied a 4th floor suite. Above is a...

Two Virgins generally gets a kicking, but I think it sorts the men out from the boys (which is being kind to the men, admittedly). Particula...
