What did John Lennon do at 34 Montagu Square?

At this elegant Marylebone basement flat, John Lennon and Yoko Ono found a brief haven during a pivotal moment in their relationship, making it their home in 1968 just as their romance was blossoming. The apartment, which Lennon had previously rented to Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix, became infamous when police raided it in October 1968, arresting the couple for cannabis possession - leading to Lennon's first drug conviction and creating a scandal that would follow him for years.

It was here that Lennon and Ono also created their controversial "Two Virgins" album cover, featuring the couple in the nude, marking a bold artistic statement that epitomized their determination to challenge conventions both musically and personally.
