Two apartments are available to let at the Anello Building in Camden, the warehouse style residential development that was once the Anello and Davide shoe factory which produced the famous ‘Beatle boot; in the 1960s. The apartments, one of which is the development’s penthouse, are available to let exclusively through Aston Chase, as part of an on-going deal with the developers, for £795 per week and £1,950 per week respectively.
The Anello Building was built in the 1930s and was originally the home of DeHavilland, the manufactures of aircraft parts, but became home to the Anello and Davide shoe factory in the early 1960s. Founded in 1922, by Anello and Davide Gandolfi, Anello and Davide supplied bespoke dance shoes to London theatres and films.
When the Beatles saw an Anello and Davide creation, a Chelsea boot with a Cuban heel, being worn by a London band playing in Hamburg they wanted a pair of their own. They visited the Anello and Davide shop in London and purchased a pair each and the ‘Beatle boot’ was born.
It quickly became one of the most desirable and fashionable shoes of the 1960s and 1970s and Anello and Davide became an A-list designer. Alongside The Beatles, clients of Anello and Davide included Marylin Monroe, Jane Fonda and Orson Welles as well as also providing the footwear for musicals such as Cats and Mamma Mia and film franchises Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Aston Chase have already successful let two apartments within the building for £775 per week and £795 per week respectively and as part of an on-going deal with the developers have exclusively been appointed on another apartment and the penthouse.
