Styles 9,790 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Roman Abramovich buys £90 million ex-Russian spy house in LondonOnce owned by the Russian Government and used as a spy base during the Cold War, this huge Kensington Palace Garden home has just been snapped up by the Chelsea owning Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich Roman Abramovich no doubt appreciates many of the features of his new Kensington Palace Gardens home - the unparalleled security, the world’s richest neighbours, the extensive gardens - but its connection to his motherland may also have been an attraction.The 15-bedroom property, exclusively revealed to be of interest to Abramovich by FindaProperty.com last month, used to be owned by the Russian government, which during the Cold War would monitor activities from this base. Belgian hedge fund manager Pierre LaGrange bought the property from the Russians in 2004 for £19 million, when, according to a property source, it had “radio rooms” for surveillance and was in an appalling condition.http://www.findaproperty.com/displaystory.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&storyid=24070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast 85 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 It's good to see him move to London. This shows he is still committed to the club and hasn't got bored yet. Hopefully he never will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
