At the height of her fame—and infamy—supermodel Kate Moss picked up this charming Victorian home nestled on the tree-lined streets of St. John’s Wood in north London. That was back in 2007, per The Daily Mail, when the British fashion icon had a young daughter and a budding romance with The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, who she would go on to marry (and divorce).
After moving into the five-bedroom hideaway, Moss put her own fashionable stamp on the interiors, creating a neon-lit party area, jungle-inspired living room, and filling the primary suite’s dual closets with her enviable collection of designer shoes and couture. She even held a medieval-themed 35th birthday bash at the home—complete with pig roast—attended by famous friends including Stella McCartney, much to the chagrin of her neighbors.

Moss ultimately unloaded the property in 2012, ready for a fresh start with her new husband, and purchased a lavish residence near friends Jude Law and Sienna Miller in the posh Highgate area. The new owners gave the 4,700-square-foot dwelling a pared-down makeover with modern furnishings while still retaining period elements like the living room’s original parquet floors.

Today, the three-story abode is on the market again, this time for £5.95 million, or roughly $8 million, with Arlington Residential. Highlights include an eat-in kitchen that opens onto a sunken terrace, a walled garden shaded by mature trees, a sky-lit entry vestibule, and multiple dressing rooms. There’s plenty of charm outside as well, with a stucco-clad exterior featuring preserved details such as swirling wrought-iron railings, sash windows, and French doors.
The residence features multiple dressing areas.
While Moss has decamped from London and lives in the Cotswolds, her former London retreat now awaits a new steward to write the next chapter of its stylish story.
