Harry Styles seeks approval for about 100 hidden speakers in London home
Singer Harry Styles has applied to install about 100 hidden speakers in his London home.
The speakers would be fitted across five floors, including in bathrooms and toilets, as part of a wider renovation.
Styles is combining two Grade II-listed homes in Hampstead into one mansion, so the council must approve changes to the historic buildings.
The speakers would sit behind plaster in walls and ceilings, and his planning consultants say the work would have little effect on the buildings.
The renovation project was approved in April 2025 and is expected to take two years and cost millions.
The wider plans include an art gallery, an indoor patio and measures to protect wildlife.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027, but the speaker installation still needs council approval.

What people are saying
The speakers are to be installed behind the final plaster finish and will therefore be completely invisible.
The proposed development comprises the installation of speakers within the plasterboard ceilings and walls across all floors, in locations as shown on the proposed plans.
Overall, the proposed works would constitute a minor and discreet intervention.
