OK, some of our younger readers may not be familiar with the name, but back in the early 70s the sight of Suzi Q in a leather catsuit had quite an impact on impressionable young lads.
Throw in the wailing voice, the thumping bass and the promise that Your Mamma Won’t Like Me and, well, old [...]

This flat in Green Street, Mayfair was the Beatles’ first home in London (1963) – and it is, apparently, the only place where they ever lived  together as a band.

The story goes that manager Brian Epstein found the top-floor flat so they could escape from their screaming fans -   they’d just had a big hit [...]

Russell Brand, comedian, serial shagger and professional Andrew Sachs botherer is selling his London pad.

And what would his place look like?
Well, there’s lots of black obviously … black and silver wallpaper, black chairs, a black sofa, a black bed, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with yes, you’ve guessed it, black floors and walls.
There’s also, in [...]

And very lovely it is too: a Grade II Listed Georgian farmhouse with six bedrooms, three receptions, a very classy conservatory and 6.54 acres of gardens and paddocks.
Strangely, the couple are struggling to sell it, and the Telegraph reports that the price has been slashed from £3m to OIEO £2.25m. Nothing funny about that.
Strutt & [...]

If walls had ears, this property would have heard some of the juiciest gossip of the last two decades. And if they could write, it’d probably have penned a hefty kiss-and-tell bestseller.
Alas, since walls can do neither, we’ll just have to imagine the crazy antics that took place inside this cornerstone of pop culture history.

For this ordinary [...]

Word reaches us that Robbie Williams is in a mad rush to sell Compton Bassett House, his vast, rambling and very expensive country estate in Wiltshire.
Williams bought the 18th century mansion earlier this year for £8.5 million but is, apparently, willing to take a hit of £1m to sell the place before Christmas.  That should [...]

We hear via homesandproperty that Sienna Miller is not finding it easy to sell  her “boho two-bedroom house off Edgware Road” (journalists are contractually obliged to use the word boho when writing about Miller).
Why? Perhaps, some have suggested, because the place has a few … err, boho … elements that alienate your average non-boho buyer [...]

Other people’s homes: always interesting, aren’t they? Following on from Joss’s post below about a very pink house in New York, here’s a video from style magazine dwell about a very black apartment in the same city.
It’s owned by Cindy Gallop, an international advertising consultant.
Cindy, who has enough shoes to put Imelda Marcos to shame, [...]

Think you’re having a bad day? Well, spare a thought for Hollywood heavyweight Nicolas Cage who, we hear, is being forced by the nasty old IRS to sell off his property portfolio.
And what a portfolio it is – a private island in the Bahamas, a Bavarian schloss, an estate on Rhode Island, homes in Las [...]

Back in 1997 popular beat combo The Verve wrote themselves into rock history with their acclaimed third album, Urban Hymns.
It’s probably best know for the anthemic “Bitter Sweet Symphony” and the equally cheery “The Drugs Don’t Work” but Richard Ashcroft was obviously in a happier mood when he wrote “Lucky Man”, the third single …maybe [...]
