James Hunt

Photograph by: London Remembers

Inscription

James Hunt lived here, 1980 - 1982. Nos. 7 & 8 Normand Mews. World Formula 1 Champion.

Site: James Hunt (1 memorial)

W14, Normand Mews , 7 - 8

The mews house in which James Hunt lived is in this gated mews. In 2022 it has been on the red brick entrance to the mews since at least 2008 (Google Street View is so useful). In 2017 the mews house was for sale and both the Daily Mail and House Beautiful have photos of that house bearing the plaque. Perhaps there are two identical plaques.
