Pink Floyd’s UK house bought blindly for 1.2m pounds - India News and Travel Times Provides India-centric and other News and Features

The former north London home of the original band members of Pink Floyd has been bought by a Singaporean developer without even seeing it. Shivan Iswaran, who admitted not being a fan of the rock band, bought the Highgate house and the one next door for 1.2 million pounds each, the BBC reported. The legendary rock members - Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and Syd Barrett - lived in the house in the 1960s. Iswaran said that she would decide what to do with it once she saw it. The previous owner, lighting technician Mike Leonard, was landlord and friend to the band and even inspired their earliest name, Leonard’s Lodgers. The house contains musical instruments which could have been played by the band. Iswaran said that she had a friend who was a Pink Floyd fan and may be interested in the odd item of memorabilia. “I’ll maybe put some of the stuff on eBay,” she said.
