Paul McCartney Wimpole Street

The Story

The home of McCartney's girlfriend, Jane Asher's parents, where he lived between 1963 and 1966 after moving from Liverpool. It was here that Sir Paul McCartney wrote "Yesterday." He woke up with the melody in his head and immediately went to the piano so he wouldn't forget it. He spent weeks trying to figure out if he had heard that melody somewhere else before.
