Earlier this year, 94 Baker Street launched The Apple Apartments, a boutique, luxury development of 5 apartments within a building that formally housed the Beatles' Apple Records and Apple Boutique in London. The original mural below was commissioned by George Harrison and painted over because Apple did not get planning permission beforehand. The launch in July featured a psychedelic light show as a nod to the original mural.

Unfortunately you won't be able to own this piece of Beatle history but you might be able to rent it. The apartments were sold to Middle Eastern investors just four weeks after the launch for £10.2 million and are being rented for between £750 and £1,150 a week (ouch!).

ReplyDelete"Rent excludes administration fees of £300 inc. VAT plus £50 per person inc."
Too rich for my blood. :o)
If I were a big Beatles fan I'd prefer to throw up a few posters on the walls of a cheaper flat. The rents seem exorbitant but I suspect they are not out of line for similar apartments in a decent area of London. I don't know how anyone can afford to live there.
