Freddie Mercury Last Home

The Story

The villa in Kensington known as Garden Lodge, where Freddie Mercury lived from 1980 until his death on November 24, 1991. He bought it for £500,000 and redesigned the interior with Victorian and Japanese influences, including a Japanese-style garden and living room. The green garden door became a permanent pilgrimage site covered with fan tributes and was sold at a Sotheby's auction in 2023 for over £400,000, along with hundreds of other belongings from the house. The house itself was put up for sale by Mary Austin in 2024 for over £30 million.
