Here’s what I’ve learned from all this mapping of star addresses: celebrities choose their London homes with the same needs we all have. They want quiet, community, good coffee, and a place to feel unseen. The difference is they can afford a private garden the size of a football pitch.
But next time you’re waiting for the tube in your own neighbourhood, take a moment to notice the small pleasures: the corner shop where the owner knows your name, the bench with the good afternoon light, the alley that shortcuts to your favourite bakery. That’s your own celebrity spot, and it’s free.
And if you ever do feel a twinge of envy, remember: even Kate Moss has to queue for the loo at a pub. Some things remain wonderfully, humanly equal.
