When David and Victoria Beckham’s wedding date was announced back in the 1990s, there was an anecdote doing the rounds in Britain.

Everyone knew someone whose friend had a booking for the best suite at The Ritz hotel, in London, on the same date and who had been asked to give it up for a huge amount of money. When the offer was accepted, so the story went, a cheque duly arrived from a “Mr D Beckham”.

Apocryphal as that story was, thanks to the new Netflix documentary Beckham we now know that the couple spent their honeymoon at English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s villa in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, on the French Riviera.

The four-part series gives plenty of other pointers to where Posh and Becks have stayed over the years, as has Victoria Beckham through promoting her new perfume range. So if you are ready to spend it like Beckham, here are some of the places you might like to visit.
