    Yes! The Beatles and others would party here. It's also in Mason's Yard which is so secluded they wouldn't be pestered. This is where Jimi Hendrix first played London when he gave an impromptu performance by jamming with a band that was playing there. It is currently open after being closed for 20 years. Here's a link that will give you a short history of the place:

    Still waiting on Picture #13. I wasn't kidding when I said it would get progressively harder.

    Horse & Groom was Epstein's local bar in Belgravia. Did the five of them meet up there?

    Yes! It stands just behind Epstein's home. All five would indeed meet up there to discuss business.

    There is a glass case (?) there about it. I remember seeing a picture of something in there.

    Yes. The pictures below were taken just as you entered the front door to the left.

    They promised a 3 hour tour but it went much longer because our guide & I got into many discussions that I think he enjoyed just as much as I. My family was having fun just watching the passion that we both exhibited.

    Picture #16: (I know I promised to leave my family out, but I just had to post this picture and I did not have one without them. So now, they're just a nerdy as me!)

    That is true but it's not the significance here. The blue plaque above the "5-6" door explains.

    Is that the Soho / Sutherland House plaque for Brian? The 5-6 is why I'm guessing! A Nems location... And number 5 is floor it was on, I believe.

    Well, it's a bathroom (or toilet!)

    When I was there, I never saw this when seeing Beatles sites in London!

    They were moved to EMI's next headquarters in Brook Green, and then (I think) to its final resting place at Wrights Lane. That building is now Warner Music and they may still be there.

    There is a toilet. I didn't expect to see this. I wish now that I used the toilet. I could tell everyone that I shared something with John Lennon!

    Thank you. It should be in a museum somewhere. It could be set up to have your picture taken on it.

    While we're waiting for someone to get Picture #16, here's another picture that I took on this tour. It's of the Prince of Wales Theatre where....... well, you know!
