In 1982, Sting was at the height of his success with The Police. However, as the band continued its ascent to global recognition, Gordon Sumner's home told a notably more relaxed story.
Located on Frognal in Hampstead, North London, Sting's 18th-century Georgian home boasted eclectic interiors that reflected its rich history. The property, originally built as a public house, had served as the residence of the Russian prima ballerina Tamara Karsavina before Sting purchased it in June 1980.
