Fashion forward: Alexander McQueen's former penthouse for sale in Georgian house once owned by PG Wodehouse

Alexander McQueen bought a flat and the lower floors of this Mayfair property in 2008, planning to return the striking townhouse to its original status as a family home. The couture genius took his own life in 2010 and now the main apartment is on the market.

The fashion house that still bears his name has a star following, with American actress Sarah Jessica Parker and singers Pink and Rihanna regularly dazzling in McQueen designs.

The one-bedroom flat in Dunraven Street, in a renovated Georgian house with Hyde Park on the doorstep, is listed with Dexters at £2.25 million. The blue plaque building was once owned by Jeeves and Wooster author PG Wodehouse. Queen Victoria’s grandson, Alexander Mountbatten, also lived there at one time with his wife.
