A London apartment once home to Mick Jagger, the frontman of the Rolling Stones, has sold for $7.3 million, drawing a buyer who happens to be a fan of the rock legend.
The four-bedroom sub-penthouse, located in Marylebone’s historic Harley House, had been on the market for only 16 weeks before the sale closed, according to Beauchamp Estates, the firm handling the listing. The buyer intends to use the residence as a pied-à-terre.
The 2,495-square-foot home features 10-foot ceilings, two adjoining reception rooms, and an open-plan kitchen and breakfast area. Its elegant interiors blend contemporary comfort with period detailing, all steps away from Regent’s Park.
“This sub-penthouse offers substantial lateral living on the doorstep of Regent’s Park,” said Rosy Khalastchy, director and head of Beauchamp Estates’ St. John’s Wood office. “We are delighted to have sold the former London home of rock legend Mick Jagger to a discerning domestic UK buyer.”
A Slice of Rock History
Jagger leased the Harley House flat in 1966, transforming it into a bohemian retreat at the height of the Swinging Sixties. During his stay, the musician often entertained guests such as then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull, Princess Margaret, and Rolling Stones band mate Keith Richards, who reportedly crashed there after parties.
Jagger’s time in the Marylebone apartment ended in early 1968 when he purchased a new home in London’s Belgravia district. The Harley House residence had not been on the market in more than 30 years before this latest sale.
Inside, the property balances grandeur with ease. Large windows flood the reception rooms with light, while high ceilings and decorative moldings add period character. The interiors include a modern kitchen with a central island and sleek built-in appliances, along with a study lined with bookshelves and a cozy sitting area overlooking the tree-lined street below.
Photographs released by the estate agency show plush living spaces furnished with jewel-toned sofas, floral rugs, and statement lighting. A mix of pastel and gray walls underscores the home’s blend of vintage and modern style.
According to Khalastchy, homes tied to well-known figures consistently attract strong interest.
“Celebrity-linked homes always generate interest and excitement,” she said. “Some purchasers like to have buyer’s bragging rights, so they can tell all their friends and business associates that they own a trophy home formerly owned by a famous A-list celebrity.”
Beyond prestige, there’s also what she calls “the value of celebrity endorsement.” Buyers, she said, often reason that “if that house or penthouse is good enough for that famous person, it is certainly good enough for me.”
That perception, she added, can significantly boost the number of offers such properties receive, even if it’s difficult to assign a precise monetary value to fame itself. “For sales and marketing,” she said, “it is highly valuable.”
Jagger’s brief residency at Harley House remains one of the many markers of London’s vibrant musical past. In the late 1960s, Marylebone was a favored enclave for artists and cultural figures seeking both privacy and proximity to the city’s creative pulse.
More than half a century later, the connection between rock history and real estate continues to prove lucrative. While the new owner plans to use the apartment as a secondary residence, the space’s cultural provenance adds an unmistakable allure.
As Khalastchy put it, “This was a rare opportunity to own a piece of London’s musical heritage — a home that has not only architectural beauty but also a story that resonates far beyond its walls.”
