The former home of Peter Pan novelist J.M Barrie has just gone on the market for £8.5 million ($10.5 million) in the heart of Kensington.
The historic six-bedroom home inspired the author to write the classic tale Peter Pan in 1890, especially its top floor balcony, which you may recognise as the spot where characters Wendy and Peter stood before leaving for the fictional country of Neverland.
