Sir David Attenborough is publicly reported to live in the London suburb of Richmond, in a modest Edwardian home that he has described as his “favourite place on earth.”

Where he lives now

  • Multiple UK media profiles note that Sir David has made Richmond , in southwest London, his long-term home since the early 1950s and that he still resides there in later life.
  • Articles describing his current lifestyle say he lives in a relatively humble house in this area rather than a large estate, despite his fame.

What is known (and not known)

  • Reports describe his home as an Edwardian property with a traditional interior and garden, but they do not give full address details for privacy and security reasons.
  • The most precise, non-invasive answer is that he lives in Richmond, London, and more specific information should not be sought or shared beyond what he has chosen to reveal publicly.

Brief background context

  • Sir David moved to Richmond in 1951 and has repeatedly said the area’s green spaces and proximity to friends and family are why he has stayed so long.
  • In interviews he has called Richmond his “favourite place on earth,” a phrase now often quoted when discussing where he lives.
