The London home that inspired a famous play by Oscar Wilde is on sale for £14 million
Alex Lawrie / Lawrie Cornish
Wilde (1854 - 1900) based, one of the play's main characters, Algernon Moncrieff's bachelor pad on the property, which is at 14 Half Moon Street in London's Mayfair.
Although Half Moon Street is now one of London's most luxurious and sought after addresses, back in 1880s Victorian London it was a highly colourful and bohemian place, where "confirmed bachelors," artistic types and theatre people lived and socialised.
The street was named after the raucous "Half Moon" public house which stood on the corner with Piccadilly. It was where Oscar Wilde spent his free time.
Here is a look inside the property which is on sale from Wetherell and Knight Frank:
