Alexander McQueen's luxury London home for sale for £8.5m:multi-million pound refurbishment celebrates the life and work of the iconic fashion designer

Alexander McQueen's former Mayfair residence has been refurbished into a duplex penthouse, for sale for £8.5 million.

The world-renowned British fashion designer bought much of 17 Dunraven Street in 2009 for a reported £2.5 million.

He was in the process of turning the townhouse, that had been converted into flats, back into a single residence when he took his own life in 2010.

Over the past 16 months the upper floors have been transformed into a two-bedroom, two-bathroom luxury apartment spanning 1,790sq ft.

The multi-million pound refurbishment by Paul Davies London celebrates the life and work of the fashion designer.
