Flat L at 57 Green Street was the Beatles' first the only place in which all four Beatles lived together. It hired by Brian Epstein during the early autumn of 1963 for The Beatles after they became too famous to stay at hotels. With Beatlemania now in full swing, they mounted an almost permanent surveillance outside the front door. The apartment was only basically furnished and John Lennon and Paul McCartney soon moved out, with George Harrison and Ringo Starr staying until the expiration of the lease in Spring 1964.
