This £6.9million Mayfair penthouse used to be owned by HRH Alexander Mountbatten, as well as famous author P.G Wodehouse and the late Alexander McQueen - and now it's for sale.

It was formerly the royal residence of HRH Alexander Mountbatten, who was a grandson of Queen Victoria and relative of Prince Philip. Alexander lived here with this wife Marchioness Carisbrooke, until they both moved into Kensington Palace in 1920.

In the many years after Alexander lived at this address, it passed through the hands of many noteworthy names. Author P. G. Wodehouse once called this place home and it contained the study in which he wrote the Jeeves and Worster stories.

There is a blue plaque upon the exterior of the building to showcase that this was the home of P. G. Wodehouse.

It is reported by the Daily Mail that fashion designer Alexander McQueen also once owned the property and renovated the interiors ready to move in, before his tragic death.

Set within a Grade II listed property, the exterior might be historic, but the interiors are highly modern. This three-bedroom apartment, which is almost 4,000 square feet, exudes grandeur with a vast living space and high-spec furnishings throughout.
