Ronnie Wood forced to make change to £7m London home against his will

Ronnie Wood has reportedly been ordered to repaint the pink door on his £7 million west London mansion.

For years, the Rolling Stones musician, 79, has had a bright pink front door at his Maida Vale home which he and his wife Sally, 48, bought in 2017.

According to the Daily Mail, Westminster City Council has ordered him to replace the pink with a neutral tone, preferably black.

The council has refused retrospective planning permission to a string of homes on Ronnie’s road. Residents have been told “incongruous” colours “harm the appearance and special architectural interest” of their properties.

A source said: “The council does not like your door being painted a different colour. They like them black.”

Someone took a photo of the front door and told Ronnie he couldn’t have it that colour. The source said Ronnie applied to the council and they agreed he couldn’t have a pink door.

Ronnie’s neighbour, Bafta-winning continuity supervisor Angela Allen, 97, also confirmed to the publication that she was told to repaint her blue door or face a £30,000 fine.

A council spokesperson said: “These properties form part of a distinctive group of listed buildings within a conservation area, and we have advised residents that changes affecting their historic character may require consent. Residents are able to submit an application for the works to be formally considered.”

Age-gap marriage

Ronnie is also father to Jesse, Leah, Tyrone, and adopted son Jamie from previous marriages.

Sally opened up about the couple’s 31-year age gap in an interview with The T​​​​elegraph, sharing that their connection went deeper than age. 

“He’s on my level completely. He’s a very nice and caring person. He’s very funny, kind and affectionate and welcoming,” she said. 

“I know [the age gap is] there and I wish it wasn’t, but it is. I had to say: ‘I can’t do this because of the age’, or I just had to let it go and take it all on board. At no point, years ago, did I say to myself: ‘I think I’ll go out with someone twice my age’, but that is what has happened.”
