Brian May says noisy basement works forcing him out of Kensington 'hellhole'

Brian May says he will leave Kensington because his neighbours' basement extensions are turning the area into a “hellhole”.

The Queen guitarist claims the work is causing “unbearable disruption” to his quality of life.

In an open letter to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the musician says that over the decade his “oasis” has been spoiled by the building schemes.

May and his wife Anita Dobson, along with fellow residents, claim they've been enduring impacts of the building works for nearly a decade.
