GHISLAINE Maxwell’s London home is up for sale – and still features the notorious bath tub where ‘Randy Andy’ allegedly had sex with an underage girl.
The convicted sex trafficker’s former London home in the upmarket neighbourhood of Belgravia has been listed for sale for £3.25M – almost double what she sold it for four years ago.

It’s the location of the infamous photo of Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre – formerly Roberts, who claims she was forced to have sex with the royal in the bath tub by Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell. The prince has always vehemently denied the claims.
Property developer Stuart Robinson bought the three bedroom mews property in Belgravia for £1.75M in April 2021 and is now hoping to cash in on his investment.
The swanky home, just around the corner from Harrods, is on sale with luxury estate agents Chestertons and there’s unsurprisingly no hint on the listing of its gruesome past with convicted sex trafficker Maxwell.
It is described as “a charming, newly refurbished three bedroom house arranged over 3 floors” offering “generous ground floor entertaining space and a wonderfully bright principal bedroom suite on the second floor with a spacious ensuite bathroom and dressing room”.

The property was first pictured in January 2022 when Robinson unsuccessfully tried to flip the property for £2.6M – and it was reported that the inside of the property had remained untouched since Maxwell.
Now new shots of the property show that some of the original features remain from Maxwell’s days.
It appears that the main bathroom is the same, only the sink cupboards and the bathroom panel have been changed.
The bath has the same Victorian taps and it’s where the Duke of York allegedly had sex with Giuffre in 2021, who was 17 at the time, according to her court testimony.
Maxwell denied the accusation stating under oath during a defamation hearing that the “tub is too small for any type of activity whatsoever.”
The Maxwells were so determined to prove the bath was too small for sex that in 2023, Ghislaine’s brother Ian released a bizarre photo of two full clothed people sitting in a bath with Prince Andrew and Virginia masks on.
The stunt was widely criticised with royal experts, lawyers and members of the public alike blasting it “surreal”, “absurd” and saying “it proves nothing”.

The house is where Virginia claims in court papers that she, Maxwell and the Prince returned to, after a visit to Tramp’s nightclub were she says he was “sweating profusely” on her.
Prince Andrew denied all the claims in now infamous Newsnight interview saying he couldn’t have been at the club as he was at home following a kids’ party with daughter Beatrice at Pizza Express in Woking.
He even claimed it was “impossible” for him to sweat as he’d developed a condition while serving in the Falklands war.
Much of the house appears the same as it was in Maxwell’s day – with the same artwork still hung up in the lounge – including a replica of Andy Warhol’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe.
The lounge ceiling is the same white colour, while the walls have been repainted a light grey.

The landing is where Andrew was pictured with his arm around Giuffre’s waist with Maxwell standing in the background – although he claims the photo had been doctored.
The only difference in the layout of the three-storey home is that the master bedroom’s study has been turned into a dressing room.
It was claimed that the place was gathering dust for over a year after Maxwell was forced to sell to pay her hefty legal fees.
In November 2023, the property was pictured covered in scaffolding and protective plastic with the works said to have lasted until February 2024.
Many neighbours on the street have refused to talk about the home’s chequered history over the years.
‘SEEDY’ SITUATION
One woman who has worked on the street for years, Wendy Howard, told The Sun in 2023 that the house had study empty for years before it was sold by Maxwell in 2021.
She said: “I know they sold the property fairly quickly and for a discount.
“I’m surprised, it’s not really the type of house anyone would want to buy. It really has the wrong associations.
“Personally, I thought the whole situation was seedy and very disappointing.”
One unnamed neighbour told the Daily Mail back in 2023 that she hopes a family will move into the property adding: “It’s a great house. I think it’d be pretty fun for a young couple actually, living across from a pub… it’s not like someone died there. But it’s weird – I think most people wouldn’t care.”
Maxwell was found guilty in December 2021 of finding young girls for Prince Andrew’s paedophile pal Epstein to sexually abuse between 1994 and 2004.
She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in New York in June 2022.
In September, she lost her appeal against her convictions after three judges at the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan threw it out.
