Amy Winehouse moves into Camden property

Thursday, 14 April 2011 3:07 PM

Amy Winehouse has finally moved into her property in the north London borough of Camden.

The £1.8 million semi-detached house was actually bought by Winehouse last May, but she only recently moved in.

The 27-year-old singer has spent £200,000 having a recording studio and gym built in the three-storey property and, according to the Evening Standard, there is at least one bodyguard keeping the house and its resident secure 24 hours a day.

The four-bedroom property is located close to The Hawley Arms, Winehouse's long-time local and favourite drinking spot. But the award-winning artist and renowned party animal will be keeping it even closer to home on the Royal Wedding weekend, when she is rumoured to be having a housewarming party.

With an average property price of over £500,000, Camden is a pricey area in which to buy. Winehouse has reportedly taken out a mortgage with high-end bank Coutts, which also counts the royal family amongst its customers.

Her taxi driver dad Mitchell is also named as an owner on the deeds.
