Vacation at George Harrison’s childhood home – Beatles fan puts Liverpool townhouse on Airbnb
So you’ve cut your hair into a mop. You’ve crossed the Abbey Road level crossing and you’ve got the Instagram photos to prove it. You spent a weekend in Hamburg that you don’t quite remember and had a pint at the Cavern. Where else can Beatlemania take you in 2022?
Well why not stay in george harrisonLiverpool’s childhood home, where he lived from 1950 to 1962, and where John, Paul and Ringo came to train. It’s a spacious three-bedroom terrace house and Beatles fan and current owner Ken Lambert has listed it on Airbnb (opens in a new tab).
This Magical Mystery Tour can accommodate up to five people and comes with free Wi-Fi and free tea and coffee. Bring a Rickenbacker electric guitar and stay in George’s bedroom, where he first heard himself on the radio, and “Sit down and strum a guitar in the same room that George, Paul and John sat and rehearsed for the first few years.”
As reported in the New York Post (opens in a new tab)the house at 25 Upton Green in Speke, just 20 minutes from Liverpool city centre, was bought by Lambert for £171,000 (around $250,000) in November 2021.
Lambert says he was shocked his candidacy was accepted, but decided to make it a place of pilgrimage for Beatles fans, especially those who think Harrison was the coolest Beatle.

“I really started thinking about what I was going to do with the property,” Lambert said. “I am not a rich person. It’s not like I’m buying properties. I’m a Beatles fan, yes, but I’m a big fan of George Harrison in particular.
“I think it was a shame that George’s house had nothing to do with millions of Beatles fans, but they are lining up to get into John Lennon’s house. George is my favorite Beatle. I want to respect his legacy.
Guests can expect a tub with the original fixtures — though Lambert installed a shower as a spare mod — and fresh linens with a high thread count. So if that’s too much and you need to get away, book a ticket to John Lennon Airport. George’s house is a short taxi ride away.
