To the passer-by, Number 7 Winnington Close looks like any other plush redbrick estate on the leafy Hampstead Garden Suburb. But this North London house - which is on the rental market for an eye-watering £9,750 a week, has an unusual landlord.

The eight-bedroom neo-Georgian home is owned by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the second-eldest son of Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi. It is listed with Glentree, a Highgate-based agent run by Trevor Abrahmsohn.
