The TV spy thriller series The Avengers was one of Britain’s longest running small screen shows broadcast as one-hour episodes between 1961 and 1969 and also during its revival in the 1970s.  And it made global stars of its main characters including John Steed (Patrick Macnee), Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman), Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) and Purdey (Joanna Lumley).

But the series was also beloved by millions for its setting – the prettier vistas, streets and roads of swinging 1960s London. And if you should wish to relive many scenes from The Avengers, and its later incarnation The New Avengers then pop down to Ennismore Garden Mews in Knightsbridge, London and have a look at No.21 – a two bedroom mews property for sale used on multiple occasions as a location for the series.

Another mews house, No.3 Stable Mews (around the corner) was also used for filming, mainly as the home of John Steed. Also, many other roads around Ennismore Garden Mews, including Rutland Mews South and East and Cleveland Mews, made an appearance in the film.

And The Avengers wasn’t alone in using Ennismore Garden Mews – it also featured in several episodes of The Professionals and HJ Wells The Invisible Man.

Today No.21 is owned by entrepreneur, business advisor and Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the Year finalist Christianne Wuillamie who is asking £2.75m for the house – which comes with planning permission to be extended with a conservatory at the back within its courtyard garden.
