Renowned actor Michael Gambon enjoys a peaceful life away from the spotlight in the picturesque village of Meopham, nestled near Gravesend. This tranquil village is nestled on the gentle slopes of the North Downs and has a history that traces back to the 12th century.

For over three decades, Michael Gambon and his wife Anne have called Meopham home. Their residence is a splendid Grade II listed country house, valued at approximately £4 million. The couple’s love for classic cars is evident, with a well-stocked garage showcasing their impressive collection. Michael’s passion for automobiles even led him to make a memorable appearance on the popular BBC series “Top Gear” in 2002. During the show, he took the Suzuki Liana for a spin, pushing it to its limits and famously navigating the last corner of his lap on two wheels. This daring feat was so remarkable that the show’s producers named the final corner of the Top Gear test track “Gambon” in his honor.

Michael Gambon returned to “Top Gear” in 2006, where he achieved a new personal best by setting a record in the Chevrolet Lacetti. He once again approached the iconic “Gambon” corner with precision and determination.

In addition to his love for cars, Michael Gambon holds a private pilot’s license, showcasing his multifaceted interests beyond the world of acting.
