However, this sparked his relationship with environmental activism as he discovered water being extracted from the River Lea was causing it to slowly die.

In recent years, Feargal has swapped his career as a singer for work with environmental groups across the country.

Other celebrities have homes in London, such as Stereophonics star Kelly Jones.

He lives in part of the capital city that has a quiet village feel.
