Ariana Grande’s Former Wicked London Penthouse Hits The Market For £16.95 Million

Ariana Grande’s former London home while filming Wicked has entered the spotlight once again, this time with a £16.95 million price tag.

Set within Buxmead, the ultra-private Hampstead enclave often associated with London’s famous “Billionaires’ Row”, the vast penthouse spans almost 10,000 square feet and offers the kind of privacy, space and security rarely found in the capital. The pop star is said to have rented the apartment while working on the blockbuster musical, choosing the residence for its proximity to Elstree Studios, as well as its discreet facilities, including private gym and studio spaces.

For a global star filming one of the most anticipated musical adaptations in recent memory, Buxmead offered something increasingly priceless: the ability to disappear.

The penthouse itself occupies the top floor of the development and sits within 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto a sweeping 360-degree terrace, with far-reaching views across Hampstead Heath and the surrounding rooftops of North London.

Inside, the apartment has been designed on a suitably cinematic scale.

The main floor includes a vast living room, formal dining area, bar, TV lounge, kitchen and a principal bedroom suite complete with two walk-in wardrobes. A private lift connects to the lower level, where the sense of scale continues with a cinema room, games room, home office, private gym, second kitchen and several guest bedrooms.

There is also a private six-car underground garage, a rarity in London, and a clear marker of the calibre of buyer this address is designed to attract.

The home was not always the polished A-list retreat it is today. In 2019, property investor Dean Main acquired the penthouse as an empty shell before embarking on a three-year renovation, transforming it into a glamorous private residence built for entertaining, unwinding and living entirely away from view.

Buxmead has quietly become one of North West London’s most secure residential addresses, offering concierge and housekeeping services alongside 15,000 square feet of shared amenities. Residents have access to a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, spa, professional gym and an 18-seat cinema.

Its appeal lies not only in luxury, but in discretion. For high-profile residents, the development’s reputation for security is arguably as important as its design. The result is a rare blend of hotel-style service, private estate living and London convenience.

For Grande, the penthouse was a temporary base during a defining professional chapter. For its next owner, it offers something more permanent: a trophy London home with celebrity provenance, exceptional privacy and one of the most desirable positions in Hampstead.

At £16.95 million, Ariana Grande’s former Wicked penthouse is a reminder that in London’s super-prime market, true luxury is not only about space or spectacle, it is about being able to live beautifully, without being seen.
