The singer purchased the property in the mid-1980s after rising to fame with his band Culture Club’s single Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?
The property comes with extensive history, and was first built in 1868 for Edward Gotto, who further developed the property, adding wings on either side of the house.

The project didn’t come without its fair share of drama, however, with the singer embroiled in a battle with Camden Council.
It has proved a sanctuary for some of London’s most notorious stars. It was previously owned by Marty Feldman, who hailed from Canning Town.
