The Tower House, Victorian townhouse in Holland Park, London, England

The Tower House features red brick walls, Bath stone accents, green Cumbrian roof slates, and a prominent cylindrical tower with a conical summit.

William Burges designed and constructed this Gothic Revival residence between 1875 and 1881, creating it as his personal dwelling in Melbury Road.

The interior rooms follow specific themes, with the hall representing Time through frescoes of sun and moon, while the drawing room celebrates the theme of Love.

The ground floor contains three main spaces - a drawing room, dining room, and library, with two bedrooms and an armory on the first level.

Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin purchased the property in 1972 after outbidding David Bowie, and plays only acoustic guitar inside to protect the sensitive interiors.

Location: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
