34 Montagu Square is a ground floor flat which once was leased by The Beatles member Ringo Starr during the mid-60s. Many other famous artists have lived here including Jimi Hendrix.
For three months, John Lennon and Yoko Ono rented the flat. They then photographed themselves naked and put the controversial pictures on the cover of their album Unfinished Music Volume One, better known as Two Virgins album.
After the police raided the flat looking for drugs, Starr sold the lease in February 1969.
In 2010, Ono unveiled a blue plaque at 34 Montagu Square, saying John Lennon, 1940–1980, Musician and songwriter, lived here in 1968.
