Plans submitted to Camden Council reveal ambitious basement plans for the Highgate mansion and star of Fame Academy, including an underground swimming pool, cinema, car park (for 24 cars), and living/dining room for servants. It's believed to a be a record-breaking project, and the Highgate Society is described here as cautious here about setting a precedent that could see an underground building spree around Hampstead Heath. Interestingly, the piece, in Camden New Journal, describes the owner as "currently anonymous". Does that mean Elena Baturina has flipped the property already?
