Oscar Wilde's own life story is just as rich and fascinating as his literary works, so it makes sense that his lodgings in London were sources of inspiration for his creative writing. Case in point: a Mayfair mansion served as a starting point for The Importance of Being Earnest.
Now, the storied property has hit the market for £14 million, and it's easy to see why it was the successful writer's residence of choice. With 5,019 square feet of space, the Grade II Listed grand townhouse features an entrance hall, four reception rooms, four and a half bedrooms, a cinema room, a steam room, and two private terraces.
