Beckingham Palace

Rowneybury, otherwise known as Beckingham Palace, was the UK home of "Posh and Becks", the celebrity couple consisting of footballer David Beckham and his Spice Girl wife Victoria. The nickname, a play on Buckingham Palace and the surname Beckham, is widely used by newspapers and other media. Grid reference gbmapping|TL473132

The Beckhams bought the Grade II listed 1930s Georgian style house for £2.5 million in October 1999, soon after their wedding. Its value is now estimated at over £7 million [http://www.britain.tv/property_top_100homes_64.shtml] .

The house is located within 17 acres of land, in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, England. Previously, it was a council-owned children's home. Its current residents now employ ex-SAS guards for security.
