Beatles fans can own a piece of the Fab Four’s business empire if they have £9.5million to spare.
The long-standing global headquarters of Apple Corps, the multimedia company established by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, has hit the market for just under £10 million.
The Grade II-listed Victorian townhouse at 27 Ovington Square, Knightsbridge, served as the organisation’s base for almost three decades.

Arranged across six floors, it blends offices with private living space and could potentially be transformed into one extraordinary family home, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The imposing white property faces one of the capital’s most exclusive garden squares, close to Harrods, Hyde Park and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Behind its grand period façade, Beatles memorabilia offers reminders of the building’s musical history.
Pictures reveal a dramatic double-height atrium with a sweeping staircase and one wall covered with framed photographs of the band.
Another bright reception room features ornate ceiling cornicing, a decorative chandelier and tall sash windows overlooking the square.
There is also a formal meeting room, a contemporary open-plan office and a private rear terrace suitable for outdoor meetings or entertaining.
The lower-ground, ground, first and second floors currently provide approximately 2,639sq ft of office space.
A further 1,350sq ft on the third and fourth floors has residential use, allowing a future owner to live above their workplace.
Modern additions include air conditioning and a passenger lift, while buyers would also receive access to the private gardens at the centre of Ovington Square.
The freehold is thought to be the only building on the square with commercial use.
It could continue as a prestigious headquarters, become a long-term investment or potentially be converted into one home or several apartments, subject to the necessary permissions.
However, the property should not be confused with the Beatles’ most famous London headquarters at 3 Savile Row.
That Mayfair building housed Apple Corps during the late 1960s and was where the group performed its final public concert on the roof on 30 January 1969.
The impromptu performance was eventually halted following noise complaints and became one of the defining images of the band’s final years.
Apple Corps is now preparing to return to Savile Row, freeing its Knightsbridge base for a new owner.
Meanwhile, the Ovington Square townhouse offers one wealthy fan the opportunity to become the next custodian of a very different chapter in Beatles history.
The property is being marketed by Noble Harris, Pilcher London and Plaza Estates for £9.5million.
