Title: Street of Mark Knopflers Home
Post by: McFly on October 17, 2014, 07:58:21 PM
Hello,

my wife's father is a gigantic Fan of Mark Knopfler. He will visit London the next days, it would be a great pleasure, if he can walk through the street, where Mark Knopfler lives.

Does anybody know the Streets name, where MK lives? The complete Address would be fantastic, but I think it's not allowed to post it.

Thanks for any help...

Best regards

McFly

Mark does not live in London anymore, from what I know. He has sold his house to live in the New Forest area.

Ok, thanks a lot for the information.

Anyway, it would still be interesting for my wife's father to walk through the region, where MK lived in London.

So I'm still happy for any details about his former living area in London.

Cheers

MK still lives in Chelsea, London, he mentions every time he does an interview,m usually at the Blue Bird cafe in Chelsea, that he choose that place because he lives close, and he owns a country house in the New Forest as well.

Actually, not long ago, a site that was selling a house in the same street where MK lives, put an add mentioning that in ****** street between the neighboors there is Mark Knopfler, Gianluca Vialli etc etc etc. I

I don't think he lives in that particular street anymore, though.  I remember he moved to somewhere else in the same area of Kings Road.  The two articles I read said "former residents" included Mark Knopfler and Gianluca Vialli .

Well, as an UK resident you are, you know that there is a way to know where anyone lives, even VIP ones, and MK is listed in that particular road as living there this year  ;D

MK moved from his former house in Chelsea, which is the one mentioned in the other thread commented in the second post, and now lives in another house in Chelsea, the one mentioned in that article, at least, is listed there. And I think we are already talking too much about it, its his private life.

Lets say he lives in Chelsea, and if you want to walk around where he loves, just follow MArk Knopfler

This here actually says he sold he's house in Beaulieu: http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/comment/212959#comment-212959

If he still lives there (or did until recently), he could have taken the "Tracker" cover pic right in his backyard.

It isn't MK's house!    I know which one it is, but that's not the one.   ;)

Okay, then he did sell the London house, but not the one in Beaulieu. Would be nice to have a picture. Not that I would want him to be stalked by people, but it would be interesting to see in what surroundings these songs originate.

He sold his house in London and moved to another house in London.

The BEalieu house is his country house, not the one in which they live everyday.

Very interesting.

Funnily, MK old house, the one he sold was pretty close to it, and the new one in which they live, its also close, it looks like he wants to have the Bluebird cafe close to his house  ;D

Mark has indeed sold and bought another place in Chelsea.... He mainly lives in Chelsea, not too far from King's Road.... Beaulieu is indeed his country house.

Exactly I saw him there back in 2016 but I was too shy to ask for a pic or autograph  :disbelief :-X
