Roman Abramovich completed on the purchase of a £30 million penthouse in the capital despite his visa problems, according to a report in the Times. The billionaire owner of Chelsea Football Club is fitting out a 6,000 sq ft residence in the Sir Terry Farrell-designed project on Chelsea’s Lots road.
Earlier this year the steel magnate faced delays to his investor visa renewal amid worsening relations between London and Moscow. He is believed to have withdrawn his application and acquired an Israeli passport, which allows him to make short trips to the UK without a visa.
With floor-to-ceiling windows, this massive penthouse will be making the most of 360-degree views which promises to be one of the very best riverside apartments in London.
