Mary Austin, a close friend
Mary Austin, a close friend of Freddie Mercury, has looked after Garden Lodge, Mercury's remarkable home in Kensington, for three decades. Following Mercury's passing in 1991, Austin took ownership of the property. Initially hesitant about staying there after his death, she eventually found solace in the house and decided to stay, acknowledging that while legally hers, Garden Lodge will always be Mercury's creation and vision.
Bloomberg reported that Austin has chosen to sell the property through Knight Frank for £30 million, after auctioning off Mercury's belongings the previous year, which raised over $50 million. Now, with her children grown and living elsewhere, Austin feels it's time for a new chapter in her life. She believes the house's next owner will likely be another artist, given its creative ambiance. Reflecting on the decision to sell, Austin acknowledges the bittersweet nature of letting go but embraces the warmth of memories she'll carry forward. This interview marks her final reflection on her time at Garden Lodge.
