Sunny Heights, located on St George's Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey, England, was the mid-1960s home of Ringo Starr, drummer of The Beatles.
Starr purchased his home on July 24, 1965 after bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison had bought houses. Sunny Heights, along with its large house and grounds, boasted its own bar, The Flying Cow, where Starr played host. The previous owner had been Mr. H.E.Pope, who changed the name of the house from Haleakala to Sunny Heights II when he bought it in 1948; the name came from the house in Amberley that the Pope family had evacuated to during the Second World War.
