You Can Rent the London Former Home of ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’


If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to roam the same spaces where Monty Python sketches came to life, now’s your chance—well, sort of. Milkwood Studios in Primrose Hill, a 1980s purpose-built structure to produce and edit sketches from the TV series Monty Python’s Flying Circus, has been transformed into a jaw-dropping four-bedroom home, and it’s available for rent—short-term or long-term—at £15,000-£25,000 (about $19,500 to $32,500) per week.

Spanning 9,742 square feet over three floors, the loft-like spread manages to feel both monumental and welcoming. Architects Powell Tuck Associates and interior designer Marianne Tiegen preserved the building’s industrial charm, its soaring steel-girder ceilings, corrugated metal roof, and polished concrete floors, while introducing light, openness, and subtle warmth. The result is a theatrical home that pays homage to its industrial architecture and creative legacy while still feeling welcoming and cozy, a rare combination in London.

The beating heart of the home is a 4,000-square-foot open-plan space that serves as a kind of indoor plaza. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves flank a central lounge, which flows effortlessly into the dining area and a restaurant-grade stainless-steel kitchen. Furnishings, including the 18-person dining table with cantilevered leather chairs and two white tuxedo sofas alongside a brass-faced fireplace, are included, creating a perfect mix of style and comfort.

The chef-ready kitchen features double Wolf ovens, a butcher-block table seating ten, and towering cabinets accessed by a rolling library ladder. Off the great room are a home theater, a games room, and a fully equipped gym that ensure relaxation, exercise, and entertainment are always on the menu. 

Steel-framed glass doors throughtout the main floor open to a tree-shaded courtyard, bringing the outdoors in and reinforcing the home’s loft-like feel. The exterior walls of the courtyard are clad in reclaimed wood planks, adding another natural material into the tranquil space.

The second-floor principal suite impresses with double-height ceilings, exposed structural elements, a private dressing room, and a skylit ensuite bathroom. A guest suite enjoys its own bathroom, while a conservatory-style bedroom on the top floor spills onto a landscaped roof terrace. A glazed bridge connects to a separate studio, providing additional creative space, a meditative escape, or room for guests or live-in staff. In total, the home offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Privacy is paramount. The property is tucked behind a gated entrance, a birch-lined courtyard, and a covered carport, making it all but invisible from the street—a fittingly elusive residence for someone who likes to hide in plain sight. 

Whether you’re a design aficionado, a Monty Python fan, or simply someone who appreciates a home with personality and history, the former Milkwood Studios residence is a rare opportunity to live inside a home that perfectly blends British pop-culture heritage with contemporary luxury and spirited style—no coconuts required.
