Help Find William Cookson – Missing Since August 2022 From London, SW6

London based artist William Cookson has been missing since early August; please help his family and friends find this much-loved 45-year-old

Talented portrait painter and abstract artist William Cookson is the much-loved son of Richard and the late Patricia Cookson, the founders of CV Villas. He and his siblings have lived in Chelsea and Fulham for the majority of their lives and Will, himself, has resided close to Fulham Broadway station for over ten years.

 

45-year-old Will is 5’11” tall, has brown hair and brown eyes and went missing at the beginning of August. His car, a white Suzuki, was last seen in Queen Street Mayfair and though there have been various sightings of him in Old Brompton Road, South Kensington and Kensington Church Street, Kensington since, his now understandably worried family and friends have been unable to make contact with him via telephone and through social media channels for some considerable time.

 

Will has familial connections in Corfu and Northumberland. He has also spent time in amongst other places Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Barbados and South Africa. He likes to walk around the city of London, is amiable and sociable and is a well-known and much-like patron of many establishments in Chelsea, Fulham, Kensington and Notting Hill.

 

Please share this information widely and please look out for Will in London and elsewhere. If you have information, please contact the UK Missing Persons Unit on 0800 234 0634 quoting reference 1372 10 8 23. Alternatively contact Pat on +44 (0) 777 574 4585 or email willcooksonmissing@hotmail.com

 

Together, we can find William Cookson.

Establishments he has been known to frequent regularly include The Fox and Pheasant on Billing Road, Frantoio on Kings Road, the Hollywood Arms on Hollywood Road, PJ’s on Fulham Road, The Sporting Page on Camera Place and The Tommy Tucker on Waterford Road – so please look out for him in these and other locations.
Born in Wimbledon in 1977 and educated at Harrow School in London and the Charles Cecil School in Florence, Will trained in drawing, painting and sculpting before setting up his own studio in Chelsea. Aside from his much-lauded works of portraiture, since 2003, he has, as he has said himself, been “driven by the complexity of London’s urban landscape” and “become more expressive” in his works.
Harrow School educated and Charles Cecil Studios trained William Cookson with businesswoman Heather Bird Tchenguiz at an event for the International Fund For Animal Welfare in Pavilion Road, Chelsea in October 2019. Showing his generous nature, Will kindly gave a painting which was auctioned to support the charity.
