It was subsequently the home of the Canadian explorer Mina Hubbard and her husband, and later of the actor Tom Conti and his wife. HistoryThe house was designed and built in 1902–1903 for the academic and mathematician William Garnett, in a mixture of styles that include Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Scottish Baronial. It was inspired by Garnett's love of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky poem, "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves/Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:/All mimsy were the borogoves,/And the mome raths outgrabe."[1] In 1913, Garnett sold the house to the Yorkshire industrialist, Harold Ellis, and his Canadian explorer wife Mina Benson Hubbard.[1][2][3] Hubbard was an advocate of women's suffrage and their guests at the house included the leading suffrage campaigner Emmeline Pankhurst, Isadora Duncan who gave a dance performance there to raise funds for the cause, George Bernard Shaw, Rudyard Kipling and H. G. Wells.[4] The house was converted into flats in the 1950s.[1][3] The photographer Harrison Marks and his partner the nude model Pamela Green lived in one of the flats.[5] The house was restored to a single dwelling in 1985 after it was purchased by the actor Tom Conti and his wife Kara Wilson.[3] Since May 2015, The Wabe has been listed for sale, following a protracted dispute with Conti's neighbour, the former footballer Thierry Henry.[2] In 2015, Conti commented that "this used to be a wonderful place to live, but in the past ten years there's been endless, endless building."[2] Henry has obtained planning permission to demolish his house and build a new one, including a {{convert|25,000|l|adj=on}} aquarium spanning four floors.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.thewabehampstead.co.uk/ |title=The Wabe Hampstead, London |publisher=Thewabehampstead.co.uk |date= |accessdate=10 April 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Wabe, The}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|author=Gareth Vipers |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tom-conti-gives-up-on-long-running-battle-with-neighbour-thierry-henry-over-building-works-and-puts-10286620.html |title=Tom Conti puts £17.5m Hampstead mansion up for sale after long-running battle with neighbour Thierry Henry| work=London Evening Standard |date=30 May 2015 |accessdate=10 April 2017}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|author=Interview by Rosanna Greenstreet |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/property/interiors/actor-in-residence-tom-contis-hampstead-home-853286.html |title=Actor in residence: Tom Conti's Hampstead home |work=The Independent |date= |accessdate=10 April 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|author=Frankie Crossley |url=http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/property/welcome-to-wonderland-the-15-million-home-with-a-curious-history-1-4960189 |title=Welcome to Wonderland: the £15 million home with a curious history – Hampstead & Highgate Property |publisher=Hamhigh.co.uk |date= |accessdate=10 April 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=The Wabe in Reddington Road |url=https://pamela-green.com/the-wabe-in-reddington-road/ |website=Pamela Green}} 3 : Houses completed in 1903|Houses in Hampstead|Arts and Crafts architecture in London |
