‘Holiday’ in London? Madonna’s old UK home up for rent

By Dean Murray

A London house formerly owned by Madonna and Guy Ritchie is available to rent for $11,988 a month.

The two-bedroom South Kensington property — a former coach house on Queen’s Gate Mews — was used as a filming location for Ritchie's friend Matthew Vaughn’s 2004 gangster film, Layer Cake.

The mews also appears in Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell’s Performance (1970) and in The Bank Job (2008), starring Jason Statham.

Arranged over two stories behind a cobbled courtyard, the ground-floor interior is described by the listing as "an eclectic, warm-toned open-plan space."

It features a library area, a dining area for six and a kitchen understood to have been designed by Ritchie himself.

Upstairs, a dedicated office space leads to the two bedrooms, with the light-filled primary bedroom suite offering white walls, light wooden flooring, and a navy-blue velvet headboard and divan.

The main bathroom retains an exposed brick archway, a mosaic marble floor and a freestanding bathtub.

Elinor Ward, director at Dexters South Kensington & Knightsbridge, said, "Properties with this kind of history simply don't come up often. 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."
