Ah, celebrities, they’re just like us. Locked in planning disputes with their neighbours, moving out of London for the children, embarking on costly renovations, evicted by the King… well, maybe not exactly like us.
Indeed, for most of us, the decision to move house does not come with heavy symbolism attached — if I buy in London it may well mean I have decided to keep working in the capital, but for the foreseeable my job won’t send seismic waves through an industry. If you’re an A-list glossy editor or Premier League footballer, that same property purchase becomes somewhat more newsworthy.
