Studio House for sale: guess who's in the photo...

Battersea Dog's Home

(Dog Not Included!)

A quirky studio house off St John's Hill, close to the many parks and commons of the area, proved an ideal home for one celebrity dog, Onion, and her owner!


The Independent on Sunday said of Onion: “If dogs were humans, Onion would be Scarlett Johansson. After all, she’s a beautiful, glamorous young actress…she recently made her screen debut in Scenes of a Sexual Nature and, like Johansson, has branched out into pop videos, appearing in the promo for A-ha’s ‘Cosy Prisons’.” There is even a light made in Onion's image, which sells in Liberty of London.


Onion’s owner has recently married a chef, so for this four-legged film star it’s time to move into the marital home, where she looks set to be very well catered for! She leaves behind a unique, light-filled studio house, with wood floors, elevated bed, and its own private patio. Perhaps the only property of its kind in this highly sought-after area.


Property: studio house:

Price: £299, 950

Agent: Kinleigh Folkard and Hayward (020 7228 2666)

Liberty for Onion Lights!

Posh department store Liberty of London has long stocked the Onion Light, but we have only just discovered that they include it on their website, in the category 'For the trendsetters' (of course!). Their description is rather charming:
"Dog is man's best friend, or so the saying goes; this could be just the gift for the animal lover in your life. The dog light will provide loyal companionship (in a very quiet sort of way) whilst shedding light on the darkest of places. Watch it light up when you walk into the room (at a flick of a switch), warding off intruders with the homely glow it casts. And possibly the best part is, there's no feeding, walking or grooming involved! This is the perfect gift for someone who either needs a bit of company, a bit of light, or both."


Thank you Liberty, for having a bull terrier in your shop!
