John lennon’s widow Yoko Ono has unveiled an English heritage ‘blue plaque’ on the wall of the flat where she once lived with the former Beatle. The ground floor and basement flat at 34 Montague Square in the inner London suburb of Marylebone was originally bought by band mate Ringo Starr who then rented it out to Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix before Lennon and Ono took up residence in 1968. The flat was the location for the shoot of their infamous naked Two Virgins album photo shoot. Ono said at the unveiling: “I am very honoured to unveil this blue plaque and thank English Heritage for honouring John in this way.” She continued, “This particular flat has many memories for me and is a very interesting part of our history. In what would have been John‘s 70th year, I am grateful to you all for commemorating John and this particular part of his London life, one which spawned so much of his great music and great art.”
