Early Pink Floyd home renovated, for sale

Posted September 2, 2015 by Floydian Slip

The Highgate home in northern London where the founding members of Pink Floyd lived while the band took shape has been renovated and is for sale.

The three-story property was owned by Mike Leonard — the band briefly called itself Leonard’s Lodgers — a lecturer at Hornsey College of Art who was instrumental in developing the band’s trademark light shows.

Floyd’s Roger Waters and Nick Mason moved into the home in September 1963, joined a year later by Syd Barrett. Rick Wright also lived there.

Leonard, who continued to own the property until his death in 2012, had allowed the property to fall into disrepair. It was auctioned shortly after his death.

The newly-renovated home is stunning, and is listed for £3 million.

DailyMail.com has a series of before and after photos.
