Take a tour of the ‘Posh’ residence of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. Now, they will be neighbours to Prince Harry (the Duke of Sussex) and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex
In the realm of international football, David Beckham stands as an iconic figure. He made his debut for the England national team on September 1, 1996, at the youthful age of 21. Over the course of his international career, he assumed the captain’s armband for six years, amassing an impressive 58 caps. Beckham’s football journey took him to three FIFA World Cup tournaments, in 1998, 2002, and 2006, as well as two UEFA European Championship tournaments in 2000 and 2004.
As FIFA 2018 fever swept the globe, with Russia hosting the tournament, football enthusiasts eagerly anticipated the thrilling matches that unfolded in the 11 host cities across 12 stadiums. This World Cup marked the first time the event returned to Europe since Germany hosted it in 2006 and the inaugural hosting in Eastern Europe. All stadiums were strategically located in European Russia to ensure manageable travel times.
In our FIFA 2018 series, we delve into the remarkable residences of the world’s top footballers, whether they are current world number ones or retired players. In this installment, we explore the home of former England football captain David Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham.
One can’t help but envision the extraordinary when two realms of excellence unite. In the case of David and Victoria Beckham, often celebrated for their impeccable sense of style, their West London abode mirrors this exceptional fusion of worlds. While the house befits a player of David Beckham’s stature, who enjoyed fame and fortune during his illustrious playing career, the credit for its design goes to Victoria Beckham.
Before residing in their West London mansion, the Beckhams called Rowneybury House, also known as “Beckingham Palace,” home. This Grade II listed property is located in Sawbridgeworth, England. Additionally, the couple owns an $8 million barn in Cotswolds, where they spend weekends with their four children. Notably, their new neighbors in Cotswolds are none other than Prince Harry (the Duke of Sussex) and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, who relocated to the area.
The Beckhams’ West London property, nestled in Holland Park within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, was acquired in 2013. However, they didn’t move into their current townhouse until 2016, following extensive renovations estimated at around $10 million. This substantial investment paid off handsomely.
Renowned celebrity designer Rose Uniacke spearheaded the renovation project, resulting in a mansion boasting four floors and three luxurious guest bedrooms. The property showcases an array of standout features, including a spacious patio, courtyards, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a dedicated powder room for Victoria Beckham, marble-tiled bathrooms, a gym, a wine cellar, a catwalk-style runway, a home cinema, an indoor pool, a triple garage, and six bedrooms. The monochromatic and pristine design of the space offers inspiration and includes an astonishing two-acre apple orchard in the midst of bustling London.
David and Victoria Beckham’s London mansion serves as a testament to their impeccable taste and style. As football fans continue to celebrate the legacy of David Beckham, the couple’s stunning residence stands as a testament to their enduring success and love for design and luxury. With a rich history and a future filled with possibilities, the Beckhams continue to leave an indelible mark on the worlds of football and fashion.
