Just in time for Halloween, celebrated American animation duo the Brothers Quay are selling their London flat.

Identical twins Stephen and Timothy Quay, whose short films have been praised by the likes of Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, designed the one-bedroom flat in Borough to reflect their spooky style, as a retreat when they’re in town.

In the converted former G Wallin and Co Tin-Box factory in Cole Street, SE1, the flat could easily be mistaken for one of the twins’ film sets.

Spread over the top two floors of the building, it resembles a haunted house with exposed beams, distressed walls and macabre décor.

It’s weird, definitely wonderful, and on the market at £1.15 million with Williams Lynch.
