David Attenborough has cemented himself as a national treasure for his jaw-dropping nature documentaries including Blue Planet and new show Dinosaurs: The Final Day, but the star lives a very humble life at his home in Richmond. In an interview with the Telegraph he called it his "favourite place on Earth", and several photos have been released over the years. Take a look…

The living room

It's decorated with lilac carpets and white walls, and furniture includes a set of brown leather sofas, a white bookcase, a dark oak wooden dresser and various vases and ornaments. David has also displayed two photos of, naturally, wildlife on the walls.

The hallway

The garden

The exterior of the building, meanwhile, is painted a vibrant lilac, with white window frames and a grey tiled roof.
