Dakota Building: where John Lennon died

Important to know

  • Address: 1 W 72nd Street - Manhattan - New York - USA
  • Getting here: Metro station 72 St (50 m)

One of the most tragic moments in music history took place at the Dakota Building in New York City, USA: John Lennon was assassinated at the entrance archway of the building where he lived.

The 40-year-old English musician was shot by a fan on the night of December 8, 1980, as he was arriving home. At the time of the shooting, the ex-Beatle was with his wife, Yoko Ono. The couple had been living in the city since the early 1970s.

Located at 1 W 72nd St, facing Central Park, the Dakota was one of New York’s first luxury apartment buildings.

Nearby is the Strawberry Fields Memorial, a beautiful garden within Central Park dedicated to John Lennon, where the Imagine mosaic is also located.
