Harry Styles plans 100 speakers at his under-renovation London home – including in the toilets

Harry Styles has applied for permission to install around 100 concealed speakers throughout his Grade II-listed London homes, which are being combined into a single mansion. The proposal includes speakers in bathrooms and toilets as well as living areas, and highlights how even discreet changes to a listed building require council approval.

The speakers would sit behind plaster finishes across five floors, with the planning statement describing the work as a minor intervention with negligible impact on the building’s historic fabric. Styles bought the first house in 2019 for £8.8 million and has reportedly spent about £18 million on properties for the project; the renovation was approved in April 2025 and is expected to finish by the end of 2027. Plans also include a cinema, art gallery, indoor patio and measures to support wildlife, while some neighbours have raised concerns about construction disruption and loss of sunlight.
