LONDON — British comedian and children's author David Walliams has put his four-bedroom Regent’s Park townhouse up for sale for £10.5 million, following a bitter High Court fight that lifted reporting restrictions over allegations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls.
Walliams denies every accusation. But the listing signals a rapid retreat from the capital's premier real-estate enclave.
Public records from HM Land Registry confirm that Walliams, whose legal name is David Edward Williams, bought the white stucco-fronted residence on Prince Albert Road for £8.45 million in 2013. The 55-year-old former Britain's Got Talent judge slashed the asking price at the start of October before formally marketing the multi-level property across commercial real estate portals. The property also serves as the registered corporate service address for Little Britain Limited, an entity in which Walliams exercises significant control under Companies House filings.
Legal documents show that Walliams mounted an aggressive injunction bid to prevent public disclosure of allegations that he pursued girls and young women, including teenagers as young as 15, for sexual purposes. His legal team argued before the High Court that identifying him publicly posed an acute risk to his mental health and life.
The court pushed back.
The presiding High Court judge dismissed the injunction application, ruling that the threshold for muzzling the disclosures had not been met. The ruling paved the way for open legal scrutiny of the allegations, which span multiple personal interactions with young fans over several years. Walliams immediately issued blanket denials against the claims.
The legal threshold to restrain publication was not established, allowing public scrutiny of allegations that the applicant sought to suppress.

Spanning 4,527 square feet (421 square metres), the residence directly overlooks London Zoo and Regent's Park near Primrose Hill. Marketing portfolios reveal the comedian extensively renovated and expanded the interior over the past five years, outfitting the period architecture with contemporary fixtures, ornamental cornicing, and tall sash windows. Among the curated interiors sat his 2006 Pride of Britain trophy and his AirNews Sports Personality award from the same year.
Yet the real-estate offloading follows a systemic collapse of his commercial empire. HarperCollins, which turned Walliams into one of Britain’s most lucrative children's book franchises after publishing his debut novel The Boy in the Dress in 2008, severed its publishing relationship with him in 2025 as the misconduct claims surfaced.
