THE owner of 15 Park Town, the former family home of Aung San Suu Kyi, is promising to give the democracy leader a warm welcome if she knocks on his door.

“I would be more than happy to invite her in and offer her a cup of tea,” said John Guthrie, 53, an investment adviser who has lived at the £3m five-storey home for the past seven years.

The father-of-one, who lives with son Tom, 13, a pupil at The Dragon School, said he would keep a look-out for Ms Suu Kyi in case she chooses to visit her former home.

He said: “No-one has phoned to say that she is coming but I will keep an eye out to see if she does come past.”
