  • St John's Wood is a district of north-west London, England, in the City of Westminster, and at the north-west end of Regent's Park. It is approximately 2.5 miles north-west of Charing Cross. Once part of the Great Middlesex Forest, it was later owned by the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. It is home to some of the most expensive properties in the world. St John's Wood was developed from the early 19th century onwards. It was one of the first London suburbs to be developed with a large amount of low density "villa" housing, as opposed to the terraced housing which was the norm in London up to the 19th century, even in expensive districts. Parts of St John's Wood have been rebuilt at a higher density, but it remains a highly desirable residential district. St John's Wood is the location of Lord's Cricket Ground, home of Middlesex County Cricket Club and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), and original headquarters of the sport. It is also famous for Abbey Road Studios and the street Abbey Road, where The Beatles recorded, notably the Abbey Road album, the cover of which features the band crossing the road. Paul McCartney has owned a property in the area since the 1960s along with many other famous music and film stars. Local radio personality and TV celebrity Vanessa Feltz also lives in the area. The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery has a barracks in St. John's Wood and regularly exercises their horses by parading them through the streets of St. John's Wood. Chef Clarissa Dickson Wright grew up in St John's Wood, and the former Wrights' home is now home to supermodel Kate Moss. Actor Damian Lewis was born in St John's Wood. The Rolling Stones referenced it in their song "Play With Fire". The director, wit and physician Jonathan Miller was born into a wealthy family in the area. The British World War II flier Douglas Bader was born in St. John's Wood.

  • St John's Wood er et område i bydelen Westminster i London, vest for Regent's Park. Det kjente Abbey Road Studios ligger i St John's Wood - det samme gjør verdens mest berømte cricketbane Lord's. Utbygginga av St John's Wood som en forstad til London begynte tidlig på 1800-tallet, på grunn som helt siden det 14. århundre hadde vært eid av Knights of St John of Jerusalem. Mens Regent's Park tilbød tomter for store villaer, ble mye av St John's Wood bebygd med noe rimeligere tomannsboliger - blant de første i London - hovedsakelig for middelklassen. Området tiltrakk seg en del kjente, radikale intellektuelle, mange av dem fra land på kontinentet med mindre liberale forhold enn Storbritannia. Mot slutten av 1800-tallet ble strøkets respektable karakter trua av et økende antall luksusbordeller og hus der menn med makt og formue hadde sine elskerinner. På 1900-tallet ble en del av den simplere bebyggelsen revet og erstatta med boligkvartaler. De intellektuelle trakk nordover til Hampstead etter hvert som nyrike londonere uten stil, men med penger flytta inn. I dag er St John's Wood et respektabelt boligstrøk med en overveiende velstående befolkning.
