The London home where the founding members of Pink Floyd lived while the band took shape has sold for £1.2 million.
The buyer was Shivan Iswaran a Singaporean developer from Kensington, west London, who bought the Stanhope Gardens dwelling, as well as the one next to it, for £1.2 million each.
Iswaran, who says she’s not a Floyd fan, plans to decide what to do with the structure once she sees it. That’s right: She made the purchase site unseen.
As for the random musical instrument or oddity banging around the house for the past 40 years, Iswaran says she might put some of them up for bid on eBay.
Caveat emptor: Drummer Nick Mason recently posted to Facebook, “The instruments and bits of equipment … however were all (owner Mike Leonard’s), and are not, as far as I’m aware connected directly with the Pink Floyd in any way.”

The buyer’s name is not Shivan Iswaran but Sham Masterman. Somebody at BBC got the name wrong:)
