2014, they embarked on a full-
scale renovation, which took a
year and involved moving the
staircase, raising the ceilings
and adding an extension for
Poppy’s study.
‘I remember standing on the
doorstep, and I could see from
down in the basement all the
way up to the roof. I thought,
what have I got myself into?’
says Poppy.
Now, it’s the perfect base.
‘It’s no coincidence that our
favourite pub is a stone’s throw
away,’ agrees Poppy. ‘The Oak
serves the best pizzas and pints in the city.’
Their home is also perfectly placed for when
they want to escape the capital for their country
retreat. ‘We can get to our place in West Sussex
in an hour, which is a miracle
when it comes to London
traffic,’ she adds.
And as if we weren’t
jealous enough, James
and Poppy have another
property, shared with her
supermodel sister Cara.
Previously owned by Jared
Leto, the £1.5m house in the
Hollywood Hills has been
decorated with a jungle
theme and boasts a movie
room and a stripper pole.
