Hereâs where to find Lindsay Lohanâs mansion in âThe Parent Trapâ
A family classic retooled for a new generation, 1998âs âThe Parent Trapâ gave us not one, but two adorbs Lindsay Lohans as twin sisters in a mistaken identity caper that spanned the Atlantic. On the UK side, the film showcased one of the most impressive west London des res this side of a Richard Curtis movie, where Annie (Lohan) lives with her mum (Natasha Richardson).

The location: 23 Egerton Terrace, Knightsbridge, SW3.
The scene: Two girls (Hallie and Annie, both played by Lindsay Lohan) realise they are secret twins after meeting at summer camp, so they hatch a plan to swap places. Hallie, who has to pretend to be British, goes back to London, where her mother (Natasha Richardson) and Annie live in an opulent Victorian home.
Then: Built on the site of a Georgian mansion, Egerton Terrace has a rich history. The 1851 census shows lawyers, doctors and even an official in the Queenâs household lived on this exclusive street, each with live-in servants. By the time âThe Parent Trapâ was remade in 1998, the road had grown to become Britainâs most expensive street, making No. 23 (which was No. 7 in the film), a Grade 2 listed residence with French windows and a doric porch, the perfect location for Lohanâs posh mum to reside.Â
