Nilsson's 1970s London residence, at Flat 12, 9 [[Curzon Place]] on the edge of [[Mayfair]], was a two-bedroom apartment decorated by the ROR ("[[ROR (design company)|Ringo or Robin]]") design company owned by Starr and interior designer Robin Cruikshank. Nilsson cumulatively spent several years at the apartment, which was located near Apple Records, the [[Playboy Club]], the [[Tramp (nightclub)|Tramp]] nightclub, and the homes of friends and business associates. Nilsson's work and interests took him to the US for extended periods, and while he was away, he lent his place to numerous musician friends. During one of his absences, singer [[Cass Elliot]], formerly of [[The Mamas & the Papas]], and a few members of her tour group stayed at the apartment while she performed solo at the [[London Palladium]], headlining with her torch songs and "[[Don't Call Me Mama Anymore]]". Following a strenuous performance with encores on July 29, 1974, Elliot was discovered in one of the bedrooms, dead of heart failure at age 32.<ref name="Eden" />

On September 7, 1978, [[the Who]] drummer [[Keith Moon]] returned to the same room in the apartment after a night out, and died at 32 from an overdose of [[Clomethiazole]], a prescribed anti-alcohol drug.<ref name="Eden" /> Nilsson, distraught over another friend's death in his apartment, and having little need for the property, sold it to Moon's bandmate [[Pete Townshend]]{{sfn|Shipton|2013|page=235}} and consolidated his life in Los Angeles.
