This is the two-bedroom flat where sex predator Huw Edwards has been living after separating from his wife as he faces up to ten years in jail after admitting having indecent images of children on his phone.
The ex-BBC star, 62, has been dividing his time between the maisonette in a south London suburb and Carmarthen, south Wales, where he has regularly stayed with his elderly mother.
The married father-of-five previously lived in Dulwich, south-east London, with his TV producer wife Vicky Flind, from whom he is reported to have separated.
The couple bought their family home for £1.85million in 2006.
But he recently moved out of the family home and rented a bachelor pad.
This the two-bedroom flat in southwest London where shamed ex-BBC broadcaster Huw Edwards has been living since splitting from his wife Vicky Flind
Edwards, pictured arriving at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London on Wednesday, pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children
The veteran broadcaster’s new spacious flat is in a quiet neighbourhood, boasting a large bay fronted living room with a fireplace, wood flooring throughout, two bedrooms and one bathroom.
One neighbour said: ‘The properties here are quite charming with good light and high ceilings. It’s a really nice corner of London – and very quiet.
‘He has kept a very low profile and I don’t think most people in the vicinity are even aware he is here.’
Edwards’ landlords, who bought the property almost 30 years ago, are based in Australia so the news of his guilty plea could mean they will soon be in the market for a new tenant, if the shamed star is jailed.
It’s unclear how much he’s paying or how long his lease is for but similar properties nearby go for as much as £3,000 a month.
The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden revealed in April how Edwards escaped to Carmarthenshire, south Wales, to be with with his mother after he was suspended by the BBC last July following allegations that a then-unnamed presenter had paid a young person ‘more than £35,000’ for sexually explicit images.
The BBC’s Director General Tim Davie has been summoned to meet Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy today to explain the BBC’s role in the scandal, including who had knowledge of Edwards’ arrest eight months ago
There are also reports that someone in the Met Police called BBC management to alert them that Edwards had been charged, before it was made public.
Nicky Campbell, one of the BBC’s most senior radio broadcasters, has branded his ex-colleague Edwards ‘disgusting’.
And responding to social media calls for the BBC to get back the £200,000 of licence fee money paid to Edwards while he was suspended, Mr Campbell gave a hint he might agree, tweeting it is ‘my money too’.
