Mansion formerly owned by Thomas Crapper

Who knew? Boy George lives in Marty Feldman's old home.

The arcane trivia was revealed as the Culture Club frontman won a three-year battle to build a glazed extension to his Gothic mansion overlooking Hampstead Heath in North London.

The singer and DJ has lived in the 19th Century, Grade II listed building, sometimes referred to as 'The Logs' or 'Lion House', for 30 years

Camden Council has given the go-ahead for a new kitchen, spiral staircase, guest bedroom and the re-opening of historic doors and ­passages.

As well as the Young Frankenstein star, other previous occupants of the quirky house include Thomas Crapper, the Victorian flush lavatory pioneer.
