Ever wondered where a Beatle hangs his hat when he's not busy changing the world with a four-stringed instrument? Paul McCartney's London residence at 7 Cavendish Avenue is more than just bricks and mortar; it's a living, breathing monument to music history and a testament to his enduring connection with the city that helped launch him to superstardom.
While his bandmates may have envisioned quieter lives in the English countryside, Paul McCartney chose to remain rooted in the vibrant energy of London. This decision solidified in April 1965, when he purchased the house on Cavendish Avenue in St. John's Wood for 40,000. Though the purchase was finalized on April 13, 1965, he didn't actually move in until June 1966, after extensive renovations transformed the house into his personal sanctuary. This wasnt just any house; it was a statement, a grounding point amid the whirlwind of Beatlemania.
