The London home where the founding members of Pink Floyd lived while the band took shape is up sale for the first time in decades.
The three-story property in Stanhope Gardens, Highgate, in northern London, is expected to fetch £1.2 million at a Sept. 20 auction.
Floyd’s Roger Waters and Nick Mason moved into the home in September 1963, joined a year later by Syd Barrett. Rick Wright also lived there.
The property was owned by Mike Leonard — the band briefly called itself Leonard’s Lodgers — a lecturer at Hornsey College of Art who was instrumental in developing the band’s trademark light shows.
Leonard died earlier this year.
The structure is sorely in need of renovations. It still features Leonard’s workshop as well as a number of other remnants of the Floyd’s time spent there: drums and a homemade xylophone remain in the home along with stage lights and a Binson Echorec 2 echo unit.
