What did Kenneth Williams do at Farley Court?

From this elegant Marylebone apartment in Flat 62, Kenneth Williams would craft many of his most memorable diary entries, documenting both his triumphs and inner turmoil during what would become his most prolific period as a performer. The seven years he spent here, from 1963 to 1970, coincided with some of his most famous Carry On film roles, including Doctor in Clover and Carry On Cleo, with Williams often returning to this sanctuary to meticulously record his thoughts on the day's filming.

The flat's central location allowed him to easily commute to both television studios and West End theaters, though he was known to complain to neighbors about the noise from nearby Baker Street Station – a typically witty Williams grievance that made its way into his published diaries.
