 In 1967 the English group The Kinks recorded a whimsical song entitled "Lavender Hill" which may have been under consideration as a follow-up single to Waterloo Sunset, but was rejected in favour of Autumn Almanac.The song was eventually released in the U.S. in 1973 on "The Great Lost Kinks Album", and has been described as "a southerner's counterpoint to the Beatles' Penny Lane", despite the fact that the Kinks hailed from North London.Notable former inhabitant include Sarah, Duchess of York, who lived in a flat in Lavender Gardens before her marriage.
