This week in our Where do London’s celebrities live series, we’re focusing on exclusive Holland Park, which is home to some of the capital’s biggest names.
The Beckhams
Perhaps the most famous of Holland Park’s residents, David and Victoria Beckham bought their Grade II-listed house for a reported £31.5 million in 2013 after moving out of Beckingham Palace, and spent two years renovating it into a home fit for their celebrity family lifestyle. The Beckhams have also recently purchased a farm house in the Cotswolds, in search of a quieter life outside the capital.
Sounds like the life for you? Read our blog on properties near the Beckham House London.
You could be neighbours with the Beckhams! Check out these gorgeous homes in the streets around the showbiz family.
Simon Cowell
The king of the music industry, Simon Cowell, spends his time between his extravagant LA pad and London, where he shares a beautiful five bedroom house close to the green spaces of Holland Park with his girlfriend and son. The stunning mansion is reported to be worth in the region of £10 million.
This stunning five bedroom house is available to buy just round the corner from Simon Cowell’s home.
Robbie Williams
Having purchased his historic 47 room house from the late Michael Winner in 2013 for £17 million, Robbie Williams only moved into the impressive pad last year after an extensive and highly publicised renovation battle with neighbour Jimmy Page. Woodland House is Grade II*-listed and has Blue Plaque status. It overlooks Holland Park and is just a short walk from Kensington High Street.
Jimmy Page
Led Zeppelin rocker Jimmy Page is (for him) the unfortunate neighbour of Robbie Williams. Jimmy has lived in The Tower House since buying it from Harry Potter actor Richard Harris in 1972 – after outbidding none other than the late David Bowie. It is directly adjacent to Robbie’s mansion and is built in a Gothic style – perhaps an ominous sign of things to come after his bitter feud with Robbie over the extensive renovations he carried out.
If you fancy a piece of the rock-star lifestyle like Robbie and Jimmy, this three bedroom apartment for sale is a stone’s throw from their celebrity homes.
Elton John
London born and bred, Elton John has owned his fairly understated town house in Holland Park since 1992. Actually closer to Shepherd’s Bush than Holland Park, Elton’s London base is just one of the properties he owns throughout the world, including a villa in Nice, a country estate in Windsor and a palatial mansion in LA.
This stylish two bedroom maisonette is a short distance from Elton and David Furnish's Holland Park home.
