Beatles Coffee Shop St. John's Wood Station

In 1965, George Harrison moved into a bungalow called 'Kinfauns' on the exclusive Claremont estate in Esher.
When he bought Kinfauns it had white outside walls, but in 1967 George decided it should be more psychedelic. DJ Kenny Everett told me about it an exclusive interview:

"I first heard Sergeant Pepper in George’s house. He had a low slung white goes-on- forever house in Esher. And a bunch of us including Tony Hall from Deram records was invited to George’s place to hear this new album. He had an acetate of it. He put it on the gramophone, and we all sat around and this thing started and blew us away, we were completely gone and on another planet, it was a quantum leap, and we thought, ‘music can stop right here, nobody is ever going to produce anything better than this, so all musicians can go back to bed now’, it was the best thing we’d ever heard ! And George said ‘It’s quite good isn’t it ?’

The night before they’d all had a party, and they’d decided to get spray cans of coloured paint and spray ‘God is Love’ and other things all over the walls of the house, this wonderful million dollar house, and they sprayed flowers, and words all over it in a stoned o**y the night before. He’d woken up the next morning to get the milk in and had horror written all over his face at what they’d done."

March 1966. Evening Standard journalist Maureen Cleeve, a long standing friend of the Beatles, was working on a series of articles about the Fab Four. She spent a lot of time with each of them, talking about their life, work and general views. During the many hours with John at his home in Kenwood and at the NEMS offices in London, Maureen learnt about John’s ideas on many topics, one of them being religion. The article published in the Evening Standard in the UK put through John’s message of concern how the old fashioned Church of England did not appeal to young people and they stopped going to church. That’s not the message that hit the headlines in America. The famous remark ‘the Beatles are more popular than Jesus Christ’ was taken out of context – all the hell broke loose!
