A three bedroom London where Jamie Oliver filmed the original series of The Naked Chef has gone on the market for almost £3m.
More than a decade ago, Jamie made his television debut at the Clerkenwell flat in The Naked Chef. The programme featured the spiral staircase in the opening credits, the cobbled street where Jamie parked his moped and the kitchen where he cooked his ‘pukka tukka’.
Jamie and his wife Jools lived in the property – paid for by the BBC – while filming the first two series of The Naked Chef.
The programme was ground-breaking in its day with the use of jumpy, close up camera work and Jame’s relaxed cooking style, which would see him tear up herbs rather than chop them.
Each episode would be based around a social event in Jamie’s life, such as cooking for his sister’s hen night.
Since moving out, the property has been updated, with a new kitchen, a spa bathroom and ensuite bedrooms. It is currently on the market for £2,995,000.
John Athanasiou, of estate agents Stirling Ackroyd, said: “When you go up the spiral staircase in this particular property, people can’t help but be impressed with the bright and beautifully space.”
