Wonder what her plans are...

[SteveMacD]

I wonder if she’s Hawaii bound.

[DownOnRodeo]

I'd never expected to log in to the Ledge and see a photo of Christine McVie's toilet.

A correction in the London housing market might have something to do with the timing as well.

[jbrownsjr]

Wow, that's beautiful apartment. I love how modern it looks. I was just near there a few weeks ago. I love the river.

I aim to please. With the seat up! :lol:

$tevie used the toilet last.

When I stay in a hotel, I always carry an extra large can of Lysol. Hopefully it can even conquer $tevie'$ booty fungus.

With the current state of relations between The United States and North Korea, I would feel somewhat nervous living in Hawaii.

What? I thought we were buddies now.

I digress.

I don’t think that would keep her from moving there, especially at 75. That volcano OTOH…

[Macfan4life]

She's got great taste.
I suppose she knows she will be on the road for almost 2 years and never there. After she sold her house in England, did she not buy another flat in London? I swear I read that she wanted to downsize and bought one in London. If that is the case it makes perfect sense. Why do you need 2 pads in London?
This must of been the place she was staying until her house was renovated during the early 1990s.

She might as well sell it - she already sold her soul as part of the Lindsey debacle.

[jbrownsjr]

I wonder if she'll move to Los Angeles or Hawaii.

[HomerMcvie]

I agree. Superwoman - she ain't after all.:shocked:

[HomerMcvie]

Makes me wonder...does she have a boyfriend, or even friends? $tevie ALWAYS has people surrounding her, but I can't really picture(as in, IN pictures) Chris with people around her(other than FM). Her dogs....

[louielouie2000]

She could just be upgrading her English digs. She must have made many millions since rejoining FM, and through selling her country house, etc.

I’m honestly surprised her flat isn’t priced higher, though. Seems way too cheap for central London with a waterfront view & all that space! Who knew she’d owned it since 1992, too? I remember seeing pics of her there for some In The Meantime articles.

I’ve often wondered this, too. She’s just so private and understated about her fame.

In my opinion, Christine has been the smartest about her FAME. She's made so much $$$ and yet remains low key. Being famous is not easy. I once did a local show here in LA and people want to talk and talk and talk and talk... And while I believe it's a responsibility to talk to your cash flow. Unless you have security and what not... people/folks/fans can get really crazy. You see them push and shove. $tevie rarely goes out without disguise because of this.

I'd hate it. I play in a band, and the places where we do have a dressing room, I NEVER leave the dressing room. I don't want to go out there and talk to all those people, pretending to like them. lol. Some people love and crave it. I'm not one of those. Seems like Christine is the same.

You couldn't give me fame on a silver platter. Fortune is a different story.

I can talk to a point. But then people want to invite you over and hang out with you. I love when people have seen me in a play or played music and tell me it was awesome. That's an amazing feeling. But, a lot will go beyond that. And if you perform in a bar it's even worse. lol

[FuzzyPlum]

I'm very surprised by this news. Having owned that flat for such a long time it seems odd to sell her London bolthole now.
I can only assume one of two things;
a) she feels settled in the US and has no thoughts of ever moving back to the UK long term
b) she'd like to spend more time in London but would like a bigger place

So that's clear then

She moved to Belgravia, a different part of London, after she rejoined FM. She was renting there around the time of the LBCM album. I assume she’s maybe buying somewhere new in the UK, or plans to post-tour, and so wanted to get rid of the other apartment & realise some cash.

Hmmm. Are you sure about this? Belgravia is literally just the other side of the river to where this flat is. I remember her giving interviews from this particular flat when she rejoined (having moved out of her Kent house). Can't see why she'd rent a flat in Belgravia when she owns a perfectly good place 5 minutes away.

I could see her wanting to sell and not own if the London housing market is having troubles, especially since she’s been working outside of London over the past few years.

Yes, I am sure.

She was renting there when she was interviewed by Mojo in 2017. She also featured in one of the neighbourhood periodicals around that time, saying how much she loved the area.

Bejesus, would you look at that. I stand corrected. Thanks

Yes, I am sure.

In that case, perhaps she just doesn't like that flat south of the river. Seems even when she sold her house she prefered renting a place rather than moving into her flat 5 minutes (maybe 10) walk away.
Edit: maybe its too high up

[iamnotafraid]

$tevie used the toilet last.

That's like knowing someone died in the house.
Or that the home was built on top of an old cemetery.

Belgravia? Isn't that where all the Russian oligarchs and that sort live? Doesn't seem like her sort of place, unless she plans to be a never-at-home owner as well.

Belgravia is an historic area in London noted for its distinctive architecture. It's also the setting of a great book by Julian Fellowes, the creator of Downton Abbey.

THAT'S why it sounded familiar! That is a good book. I wonder if the apartment has been staged by the real estate agent. It doesn't seem to have any personal items like pictures and stuff.

I wondered the same thing. The decor does seem fairly cold and impersonal. Is this the same apartment that they did the big interview about her coming back to the band? She said at the time that it suited her current self so much better than the historic house in Kent. It was the same interview that she made that comment about how in retrospect Little Lies would have suited Bill Clinton better as a campaign anthem than Don't Stop.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman".

No, you got a hummer, and jizzed all over her dress.

More like, Big Lies.:lol:

I've worked in real estate for a while now and my professional two cent opinion is that yes it's definitely staged.

She's the smartest of the bunch. Truer words have never been spoken. I'll never understand all the "love" for that "prick"! .....pun intended :laugh:
