251 Menlove Avenue, named Mendips, is a National Trust property in south Liverpool, England, and was the childhood home of John Lennon. The five-year-old Lennon moved to this address in 1945 when his mother Julia sent him to live with his Aunt Mimi and Uncle George. He remained here until 1963 when he was 23 years old, and The Beatles' hit She Loves You was written in its front living room.

Despite having purchased the childhood residence of Paul McCartney, the National Trust showed no interest in acquiring the Menlove Avenue property. It was eventually bought by Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow, who then donated the house to the National Trust. After much restoration work it was finally opened to the public on March 27, 2003.

Said Ono, "When John's house came up for sale I wanted to preserve it for the people of Liverpool and John Lennon and Beatles fans all over the world." ( Associated Press, February 14, 2003).

The house was featured on the sleeve cover for Oasis' single "Live Forever." [1]
