Are you a fan of the popular TV series, Through the Keyhole? It\u2019s always a bit of fun to see how the other half live isn\u2019t it. From the small little flats where actors lived before hitting the big time to the palatial mansions they now reside in, we bring you the homes of the rich and famous in London.<\/p>\n

Hollywood Life<\/strong><\/h2>\n3 bed apartment to rent in St. John’s Wood, NW8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
It was with great sadness that we learned of Jackie Collins\u2019 passing in September.\u00a0 The prolific bonkbuster novelist was a native Londoner and lived in St John\u2019s Wood up until the 1980s when she decamped permanently to Hollywood.\u00a0 Her former home, an end of terrace Victorian home, is now on the market for \u00a311.5 million.\u00a0 We have a very Collins-esque apartment to let around the corner.\u00a0 Check out the zebra print chairs.<\/p>\n

Everyone needs a bit of colour in their life<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Janet Street Porter famously threatened to disembowel starchitect David Adjaye during the design and build of her house in Clerkenwell.\u00a0 They seemed to patch up their differences just enough to complete the house although Street Porter rejected his austere interiors in favour of flamboyant and colourful furnishings.\u00a0 She put the house on the market for \u00a33.95m last May but has yet to find a buyer so has reduced the price to \u00a33.5m.\u00a0 Once she sells, perhaps she should consider neutral d\u00e9cor as seen in this nearby apartment.<\/p>\n

Up where we belong<\/strong><\/h2>\nStudio apartment to rent in South Bank, SE1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
We are still perturbed that we didn\u2019t get an invite to the penthouse launch of the year.\u00a0 The two storey mansion in the sky at South Bank Tower was launched to great fanfare and saw supermodels such as Erin O\u2019Connor and Lily Cole dancing along to the tunes of Paloma Faith who gave a private concert.\u00a0 The penthouse has been snapped up already, but you can live the supermodel lifestyle in this apartment in the same building.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Like attracts like<\/strong><\/h2>\n
What is it about this mews house?\u00a0 A property in Belsize Park has just come on the market for \u00a33.5 million that was once the home of not just one star but three.\u00a0 Famed photographer Sir Cecil Beaton made it his home in the early 20th<\/sup> century before it eventually passed to the actor Roy Kinnear.\u00a0 More recently it has belonged to hunky actor Sean Bean.\u00a0 Go celebrity spotting in Belsize Park at this spacious apartment.<\/p>\n

Back to the 90s<\/strong><\/h2>\n1 bed apartment to rent in Paddington, W2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Does anyone remember the bittersweet British comedy Jack and Sarah<\/em>?\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 Just us?\u00a0 Order it on Netflix.\u00a0 It\u2019s worth it.\u00a0 The four bedroom home in Holland Park that served as the home of Richard E Grant in the film is now on the market for \u00a35.25m.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a nanny with a big heart looking for a place of your own, consider this nearby apartment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hang on, lads, I\u2019ve got a great idea<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Sir Michael Caine has been pictured house-hunting with his wife Shakira in the Chelsea area.\u00a0 Caine and his wife already own a penthouse pied-\u00e0-terre \u00a0\u00a0in Chelsea Harbour so perhaps they\u2019re considering a new property for investment.\u00a0 If so, call us, Michael.\u00a0 We\u2019ll get you a great tenant. Just a suggestion, Imperial Wharf is just next door and properties here<\/strong> <\/a>always let quickly<\/p>\n
