Designs on you<\/strong><\/h2>\n2 Bed apartment in Battersea, SW11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
David and Victoria Beckham famously purchased a house in Holland Park around the corner from Robbie Williams and Jimmy Page.\u00a0 Despite its mammoth proportions, Victoria couldn\u2019t possibly be expected to work from home, hence why she has a separate atelier for her fashion design business. As the business has grown, she needed more space so has moved on from her former design studio in Ransome\u2019s Dock, adjacent to Vivienne Westwood\u2019s fashion house.\u00a0 The space has now been converted into three flats that are currently for sale for \u00a33.5 million.\u00a0 Budding fashionistas can rent this apartment nearby.<\/p>\n

No blue rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n2 Bed apartment to rent in Paddington, W2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Nicole Kidman has finished her lauded run in the stage production of Photograph 51<\/em> and has presumably flown back to the US where she lives with her husband, country superstar Keith Urban.\u00a0 Sources tell us she was living at The Dorchester while she was here but she considered buying a property in London.\u00a0 She coveted an apartment in Grosvenor Crescent Mews in Mayfair but eventually decided against it as it just wasn\u2019t big enough should her entire family want to stay there.\u00a0 When she\u2019s next in London, perhaps she should consider renting this more spacious\u00a0property in Paddington.<\/p>\n

James Bond\u2019s safe house<\/strong><\/h2>\n1 Bed apartment to rent in Kensington, W8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Filming James Bond movies is exhausting work.\u00a0 Not only are there very intense action sequences but to give the films their quintessential British aura, they\u2019re often filmed in urban locations around London.\u00a0 It\u2019s not ideal for the actors who often need to retreat back to a luxuriously appointed trailer to rehearse their lines or simply chill out.\u00a0 Fortunately, these films have big budgets so the producers simply rented a luxury riverside apartment for the actors in central London.\u00a0 If you\u2019re also needing a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, opt for this luxuriously appointed apartment.<\/p>\n

Apple of our eye<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re one of those people who just has to have the latest Apple products, you could snap up the ultimate design masterpiece: technology designer Ross Lovegrove\u2019s design studio in Notting Hill.\u00a0 For anyone with \u00a312.5 million to spend, this spacious mews has huge light filled rooms and a stunning spiral staircase that looks more like a helix.\u00a0 If your budget doesn\u2019t quite stretch that far, this nearby flat\u00a0is a lot more affordable.<\/p>\n
We have a question<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Those of you who are old enough to remember the days when Sir Robin Day hosted Question Time back in the 1980s might be keen to learn a flat in his former block in Westminster has just come on the market.\u00a0 It\u2019s an apt location for the late journalist who famously \u201cchanged the relationship between politicians and television\u201d according to his obituary in The Guardian.\u00a0 The small flat on Victoria Street is in need of some renovation but would make a fabulous pied-a-terre.\u00a0 If DIY isn\u2019t your thing, consider this nearby flat.<\/p>\n
