During some of the most formative years of her career, between 1983 and 1998, British performer Tilda Swinton lived in this handsome red‑brick mansion block on King’s Road. The area has long been a hub for London’s creative community and remains one of the city’s most vibrant locations for restaurants, boutiques and cultural attractions.

Part of Alexandra Mansions, the apartment blends combines period character with modern, light‑filled interiors. The flat’s significance even extends to the art world: the interior has been recreated in the exhibition Tilda Swinton – Ongoing at Amsterdam’s Eye Filmmuseum, where the work Flat 19 presents a full‑scale reconstruction accompanied by Swinton’s recorded memories.

A prime central London address owned by Sir Roger Moore

While the next actor to portray 007 is yet to be revealed, many still consider Sir Roger Moore the quintessential James Bond. His former home in Eaton Square - a prestigious address between Sloane Square, Harrods and Buckingham Palace - is suitably iconic. The square has also been home to other Bond alumni, including Sir Sean Connery.

Spread across the third and fourth floors, the three‑bedroom duplex offers an elegant reception room overlooking communal gardens. Residents enjoy amenities including a tennis court and an additional security team based in the square, making it an exceptional pied‑à‑terre or London family home.

An East Sussex home with Bond connections

Bond enthusiasts will appreciate this charming double‑fronted Georgian house, Whitelands, which was the long‑term home of Desmond Llewelyn, who portrayed Q in the James Bond franchise between 1963–1999. He lived here with his family for nearly 30 years.

Beyond its cinematic connections, the property offers impressive features: set within 1.57 acres, it includes a detached annexe now used as guest accommodation and a gym. The large terrace leads to a swimming pool and a detached pool house with sauna, ideal for summer entertaining. Meanwhile it occupies a peaceful position close to this historic East Sussex town of Battle, for convenient yet tranquil countryside living.
