The posh background of Just Stop Oil’s pink-haired poster girl: Phoebe Plummer grew up in her family’s £4million Chelsea mansion and went to £45,000-a-year private school in Ascot… but aged just 22 she’s already been arrested for a string of disturbances

Phoebe Plummer is no stranger to Just Stop Oil’s relentless campaign of chaos.

At just 22 years old, the prolific protester has been arrested for a string of disturbances.

But the pink-haired eco-activist was raised a far cry from the world of civil disobedience, handcuffs, and prison cells.

Growing up a stone’s throw from the King’s Road in her family’s £4million Chelsea home, Plummer enjoyed a life of privilege some could only dream of.

Privately educated at £45,000 a year St Mary’s School in Ascot, she then moved on to Mander Portman Woodward College in London to study A-Levels in Chemistry, Computer Science and Mathematics.

The top-class education helped her secure straight A* grades and a spot at the University of Manchester to study Computer Science but ended up studying Social Anthropology at SOAS University of London, according to her LinkedIn.

Plummer eventually swapped studying for activism, making her name on the JSO circuit.

The Mail can reveal that the 22-year-old appears to live in a large house in Clapham, south London, owned by the Church of England.

The activist was last registered as living at the property, which is a Vicarage for the local priest.

It was bought by the Diocese of Southwark in 1991 for an unrecorded price, but houses on the leafy street have recently sold for up to £4million.

Last night, the Diocese of Southwark confirmed that parsonages are private homes for priests and their family, so it’s unclear why Plummer was permitted to live there.

In the summer of 2023, she posed alongside her fellow JSO campaigners for an arty feature in the glamorous magazine Dazed.

Staring into the camera with STOP OIL emblazoned across her chest and holding a can of Heinz tomato soup, the 22-year-old wore a silk and cotton sweater by the exclusive Italian brand Loro Piana, where jumpers can cost upwards of £1,000.
