The London Home Madonna and Guy Ritchie Once Owned Is Now Available for Rent
Located in Queen’s Gate Mews, South Kensington, the two-bed, two-bath listing was also a filming location for the 2004 gangster film Layer Cake
Madonna fans and movie buffs alike now have the chance to live out their superstar dreams inside the home that was once owned by the pop music icon and her then-husband, Guy Ritchie. The two-bedroom, two-bath home, located inside Queen’s Gate Mews, South Kensington, is now available to rent through Dexters South Kensington & Knightsbridge, and features a kitchen designed by Ritchie himself.
The listing is equally as enticing for movie lovers, as it served as a filming location for Matthew Vaughn’s 2004 gangster film Layer Cake, and the mews appeared in the 1970 film Performance, as well as the 2008 hit Bank Job. And for the historians, the mews were originally built in the early 1860s as the coach house/stable accommodation for the main houses on surrounding streets. The mews even survived a bombing during World War II.
“Properties with this kind of history simply don’t come up often,” says Elinor Ward, Director at Dextors South Kensington & Knightsbridge. “The house was lived in by Madonna and Guy Ritchie, and used as Daniel Craig’s home in the film Layer Cake. It is full of character, beautifully finished, and perfectly placed for anyone wanting to be in the heart of South Kensington.”
This particular furnished rental, priced at just over $2,700 per week, features an open-plan ground floor, with exposed industrial pipes and dark timber flooring. Upstairs, an office space leads to two bedrooms, with ample lighting courtesy of a Juliet balcony and French doors. The main bath also features an original brick archway.
