ONE MILLIAON POUNDS for a two roomed flat?

The world has gone mad.

Looks lovely! But I would knock that mirror over as soon as I walk in

I was so aerated I couldn't type

A million quid for a one bedroomed flat!
You'd need your bumps felt if you paid that.

Argh - stupid phone! It looks like the flat was a small part of the period building which is where he actually lived.

The link is pretty ambiguous too as to whether OW lived in the BUILDING or in the actual flat. If you read the description carefully it actually suggests that he lived in the same building for 5 years, but not the individual property listed for sale

Sorry - looks like my previous post disappeared!

It is very beautifully done inside, wow.

Its lovely though, isn't it?

X post with Miranda. Makes the six figure price tag look even more ludicrous. Obviously there are pockets of London where tiny flats demand outrageous prices but I'll wager that there has been a % added for the "celebrity" address factor.

It is indeed, Mintyy - I think we are looking past the price tag because we are used to ridiculous London prices!

I don't like the kitchen.

Bet Dear Oscar wouldn't have liked it either...

Ooh my friend from work used to live in that building. I've had dinner there. She rented a room in a 2 bed flat and joked that there were two people living in what would once have been Oscar Wilde's drawing room or whatever. Imagine how beautiful it would be if it were still a whole house. wistful sigh

but where do you keep your stuff ?

Patty - you keep all your stuff in your country house. This is just your London pied a terre of course!
