Rock legend Liam Gallagher could be making a dramatic return to one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, with rumours swirling that the former Oasis frontman is house-hunting in the celebrity-packed suburb of St John's Wood.
A Star-Studded History
According to sources speaking to the London Evening Standard, the musician has been spotted exploring properties in the affluent North West London area. This wouldn't mark Gallagher's first experience living in the neighbourhood - both he and his brother Noel reportedly rented properties there during the height of Oasis's fame in the nineties.
Noel Gallagher purchased a £2 million townhouse in nearby Belsize Park back in 1997, famously nicknaming the property 'Supernova Heights'. The area clearly holds significant memories for the Manchester-born rockers.
London's Original Celebrity Enclave
St John's Wood has long served as home to an impressive roster of A-list residents. The neighbourhood boasts perhaps its most famous resident in Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, who first moved to the area in 1965 and remains there today.
The music icon originally paid approximately £40,000 for his property - a sum that property experts note would struggle to purchase even a dilapidated garage in East London's Forest Gate today. The value of McCartney's home has skyrocketed over the decades, particularly after a neighbouring property hit the market earlier this year with a staggering £16.95 million price tag.
Billionaires Row and Global Icons
Located within Westminster borough, St John's Wood contains Avenue Road, which estate agents are increasingly referring to as London's latest 'Billionaires Row'. The area also hosts national landmarks including Lord's Cricket Ground and the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.
International pop sensation Rihanna has previously rented in the neighbourhood, occupying an eight-bedroom detached house that cost £18,000 per week. The luxurious property later appeared on the market with an eye-watering £32 million asking price.
Before becoming a magnet for Grammy-winning musicians, St John's Wood counted Hollywood actor Damian Lewis among its residents. The Homeland star grew up in the posh suburb before achieving international fame.
With its combination of musical heritage, exclusive properties, and celebrity residents, St John's Wood continues to attract the world's most famous faces - and Liam Gallagher might soon be joining their ranks once again.
