Bafta Nominee Paul Mescal Buys London Pad

Paul Mescal may have made the move from Dublin theatre stages to Hollywood red carpets, but when it comes to where he lives, his approach is pretty low-key.

His property choices speak to his Irish roots, his London lifestyle and a preference for spaces that feel comfortable and homely.

After several years renting, including a stint with his Normal People co-star India Mullen in a north-east London flat, rumour has it that Mescal recently purchased a new home in the capital.

According to reports, the 29-year-old actor has snapped up a property in Kentish Town, placing him alongside a mix of well-known neighbours, including Bill Nighy.

He is a familiar face in London’s neighbourhood pubs — from Islington’s The Old Queen’s Head to The Canonbury Tavern, where he has been seen enjoying a game of cards with friends and on a date night with his girlfriend, singer Gracie Abrams.

His affinity for a good pint extends to traditional Irish pubs; he has recommended The Auld Shillelagh in Stoke Newington for its excellent Guinness. He has also been spotted jogging through Highbury Fields, dining at Michelin-starred Brat in Shoreditch and enjoying a night out at Camden members’ club House of KOKO.
