His time in Seven Dials proved his most creative, writing material for the band's first two albums. The house was owned by the artist Peter Wynne-Wilson and Barrett lived in the attic flat with his girlfriend Lynsey Korner. In early 1967 he followed her to a 'happening' flat in Cromwell Road. He left the group in 1968 amid speculations of mental illness exacerbated by drugs, and was briefly hospitalised, and then spent three decades in seclusion.
