More space for the motors: multi-millionaire lock-up king buys £5m Bayswater home but double garage won't fit his 420 cars

Rodger Dudding — Britain’s biggest owner of lock-up garages — has just bought a huge London home but the double garage is not big enough for his 420 cars.

Self-storage magnate Rodger Dudding, Britain’s biggest owner of lock-up garages with more than 12,000, can well afford a home where storage really isn’t an issue.

He’s just bought a huge £5 million home in Bayswater, a purchase that would barely make a dent in his estimated £162 million fortune.

Through Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, the savvy entrepreneur has just exchanged on an exquisite mansion opposite Hyde Park that is one of only a handful of fully detached houses in W2.

However, there is one tiny drawback. The integral double garage falls rather short of the space Dudding requires for his 420 cars — thought to be Europe’s grandest collection of classic motors.
