The Pheasantry
Eric Clapton lived on the first floor of this Georgian building in 1967, sharing its facilities with Martin Sharp, a psychedelic poster artist who later that year designed Cream’s Disraeli Gears sleeve, feminist intellectual Germaine Greer, filmmaker Philippe Mora, artist Timothy Whidborne, David Litvinoff, writer Anthony Haden-Guest and Sharp’s friend Robert Whitaker, possibly The Beatles’ preferred photographer.
