Frustrated residents in James Corden's exclusive Belsize Park neighbourhood have broken their silence about the months of disruption caused by the TV personality's extensive home renovations.
Locals living near the Gavin & Stacey star's £8.5 million North London property describe being subjected to relentless construction noise, traffic congestion from delivery vehicles, and general inconvenience since works began earlier this year.
'Absolute Nightmare' for Local Residents
One neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, didn't hold back when describing the situation: "It's been an absolute nightmare. The constant banging and drilling starts early and goes on all day. We've had massive lorries blocking the narrow streets, making it difficult for residents to get in and out."
Another local resident expressed disappointment at the lack of consideration shown: "You'd think someone in the public eye would be more mindful of their neighbours. There's been very little communication about the schedule or how long this disruption would last."
Months of Construction Chaos
The extensive renovation project at Corden's Victorian home has included:
- Significant structural alterations to the property
- Daily construction crews arriving early morning
- Frequent deliveries of building materials blocking access
- Consistent noise pollution affecting multiple households
Local authorities have confirmed receiving several complaints about the building works, though specific details remain confidential.
Celebrity Status No Excuse, Say Neighbours
Many residents expressed that Corden's celebrity status shouldn't exempt him from being a considerate neighbour. "Whether you're famous or not, basic courtesy towards those living around you should be a given," commented one long-term resident of the area.
The situation has become so tense that some neighbours are reportedly avoiding confrontation while counting down the days until the renovations are complete.
Representatives for James Corden have been approached for comment regarding the neighbours' complaints.
