Coleherne Court

The actor Corin Redgrave lived at Flat 116 and held meetings of the Workers Revolutionary Party there.

[2] Other residents include the authors Stephen Vizinczey in the early 1970s and Sir Charles Petrie, 3rd Baronet in the 1960s.

[3][4] The Soviet spy Oleg Penkovsky was debriefed by MI6 in July 1961 in a safe house flat they operated in Coleherne Court.

Diana's deposit on the flat came from the £50,000 (equivalent to £319,516 in 2023) that was left to her by her great-grandmother, the American heiress Frances Ellen Work.

She moved out of the flat to live at Clarence House shortly before her engagement to Charles, Prince of Wales was announced in 1981.
