A really huge home within the metropolis! Blur star Graham Coxon is renting out this £3m household residence on AirBnB as his divorce prices spiral
Blur guitarist Graham Coxon is renting out his stunning London home for £3,000 per week amid his bitter divorce saga.
The four-bed Muswell Hill home – bought by Coxon in 2013 – is ‘perfect for group getaways’ but guests booking on Airbnb are warned their stay may be interrupted by viewings as the property is also listed for sale for £2.85million.
The listing warns guests cannot refuse viewings as ‘agreeing to accommodate viewings is a prerequisite to confirm the booking’.
But a stay in the Britpop hero’s very big house in the city doesn’t come cheap, with guests forking over £402 per night meaning a seven-night stay comes to £3,017 including a cleaning fee.
It comes as Coxon is currently locked in a High Court divorce battle with his wife Soraya Coxon. Last year Mr Coxon described being ‘lost’ after the break-up of his marriage.
But he has found love with Rose Elinor Dougall, whose grandfather was eminent BBC newsreader Robert Neill Dougall.
Spread over four floors, pictures of the house reveal a large basement cinema room and a fully equipped kitchen and separate dining area.
A stylish master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a giant stone shower while guests are invited to catch up on work in the home’s private office space.

The neutral decoration gives very little indication of the home’s famous owner but guests are able to check themselves in and ‘will have access to the entire home at all times during their stay’.
The house – located close to Alexandra Palace in one of North London’s trendiest areas- also boasts ‘a spacious garden, perfect for outdoor relaxation or gatherings’.
The home was recently listed on Airbnb so has few reviews to show but guests can book stays for a minimum of four nights between April and August.
Mr Coxon appeared for an interim hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on September 19 before Mr Justice Peel in relation to his separation from Soraya Coxon.
The judge ruled that while Mr Coxon, represented by Rosanne Godfrey-Lockwood, and Mrs Coxon, represented by Michael Glaser KC, could be identified, no details of the case can be published.
A further hearing is expected to be held at a later date.
Blur first came to public attention when their second single, 1991’s There’s No Other Way, reached number eight in the UK singles chart before they achieved worldwide fame with their third album, 1995’s Parklife.
The band – which also includes lead singer Damon Albarn, bass player Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree – has scored 13 UK top 10 singles and seven number one albums.

They recently embarked on a world tour, including two homecoming gigs at Wembley last summer.
Graham and new love Rose have formed a new band called The Waeve, releasing their first album City Lights in September.
They also have a two-year-old daughter.
His marriage to Soraya reportedly collapsed in around 2020.
‘It was extremely traumatic. That’s when I knew I needed therapy’, he told The Times.
He returned to the UK and says he met Ms Dougall, and made music together. They then fell in love and had a child.
‘I didn’t know what I was going to be doing. I had just gone through a big loss of confidence, so I liked the idea of working with someone who could sing and play piano and take the strain a little bit. I don’t think either of us expected it to go the way it did’, he said.
‘I’ve always been socially awkward, which is why it’s great going out with Rose because she’s lively and she enjoys the moment.
‘My attitude back then was: why are people talking to me, just because I’m in a band? For years I was the snarling person in the corner, hiding in a pub in Camden. I was the problematic Blur boy’.
