Paul Di’Anno’s Former Chingford Home is a private residential property in Chingford, East London, connected to the early Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno. The address appears in the 1979 BBC contract reproduced in the Iron Maiden biography “Run to the Hills”, from the period when the band were booked to appear on “The Friday Rock Show”.

Di’Anno, born Paul Andrews on 17 May 1958, was born and raised in Chingford. He joined Iron Maiden in 1978 and became the first singer to record with the band, fronting the early breakthrough era that produced “The Soundhouse Tapes”, “Iron Maiden” and “Killers”.

His voice gave Iron Maiden’s first two albums a rawer and more street-level character than the later Bruce Dickinson era, with a style shaped by a more raw voice and the East London environment that surrounded the band’s early years. The Chingford address therefore connects the area to the formative period of both Di’Anno’s career and Iron Maiden’s rise.

The building itself is a private home and not a public attraction. Its interest lies in the documented connection to Di’Anno during Iron Maiden’s early recording years, placing it within the wider East London map of the band’s history alongside locations such as Leytonstone, the Ruskin Arms and other places linked to Iron Maiden’s first line-ups, rehearsals and club shows.
