Even celebrities have to settle down\u00a0somewhere and where could be more celebrity-friendly than London? In almost every corner of the Capital, famous film stars, singers, models and those who are just famous for being famous are either looking for a property, moving in to a glorious new pad or selling up for something with more even style and grandeur. In this monthly blog, we\u2019ll keep you abreast of where they\u2019re moving to and from and also tell you how you can bag yourself a property nearby.

2 bed flat to rent in Elm Row, NW3 \u00a3695pw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rita Ora is a busy lady these days. \u00a0So busy, it seems, she didn\u2019t even have time to go house hunting. The Kosovan-born singer tasked her parents, Vera and Besnik with finding her the perfect pad. They eventually found her a \u00a31.3 million home in north London that the modest singer then kitted out with items from IKEA. Alas, it seems the songstress isn\u2019t ready to settle down quite yet.\u00a0 Her lifestyle is so jet set that she\u2019s told her parents they can move in while she continues to travel the world.\u00a0 Hopefully her parents will invite their daughter round for a cup of tea or something. If you or your parents are house hunting for a rental property in North London consider this two bedroom cottage in the heart of Hampstead Village \u2013 a short walk from the Tube, cafes and Hampstead Heath.<\/p>\n

Is there something we should know?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Those of you old enough to remember Duran Duran might be interested to know that Andy Taylor\u2019s former flat in Wandsworth is up for sale. The huge penthouse was big enough for the band mates to play cricket there. The guitarist also installed a hot tub on the terrace for use during wild parties. We also have a flat to rent near Battersea Park with rock star quality. Okay, it may not be big enough for a cricket pitch but it does have designer furniture, comfort cooling and an on-site fitness centre, swimming pool, yoga studio and business centre, along with a 24 hour concierge to keep those groupies at bay.<\/p>\n

Finding a rental shouldn\u2019t be Mission: Impossible<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just in case you haven\u2019t looked at the internet, flipped on the television or read a newspaper of late, Tom Cruise has a new film out.\u00a0 The fifth edition of the Mission: Impossible franchise has the impossibly young looking 53 year old performing his own stunts and performing many scenes in a state of undress.\u00a0 Yep, he\u2019s still got it.\u00a0 What he doesn\u2019t have any longer, however, is the flat in Knightsbridge where he previously stayed while filming in the capital.\u00a0 The 10,000 square foot property overlooking Hyde Park features \u2018his and hers\u2019 dressing rooms, a bar, cinema, gym and a spa.\u00a0 It\u2019s tough being a celeb.\u00a0 If the \u00a335m price tag is beyond your budget, consider this property in Rutland Gate.<\/p>\n

Your palace or mine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll give you two guesses.\u00a0 Has Princess Madeleine of Sweden looking to buy a new house in a) Sweden or b) London?\u00a0 If you guessed London, you\u2019d be right.\u00a0 The dark-haired beauty is moving to the capital with her London-born husband Chris O\u2019Neill and their daughter Princess Leonore and newborn son Prince Nicholas from \u2013 no, not Stockholm but New York.\u00a0 Princess Madeleine\u2019s in-laws are nearby so perhaps they can help out with the babysitting from time to time.\u00a0 No word yet as to where they\u2019ll be moving but we\u2019re willing to bet it\u2019s going to be Kensington & Chelsea.\u00a0 It is the Royal borough, after all.\u00a0 If you\u2019re looking for a palace of your own, look no further than this beauty in Vicarage Gate, only a short walk to Kensington Palace.<\/p>\n

The X Factor\u2019s latest judge, Nick Grimshaw, is reputedly looking for a new house in Islington<\/a>.\u00a0 He currently resides in Primrose Hill but our sources have seen him searching in the N1 area.\u00a0 The Radio 1 Breakfast Show host will undoubtedly be looking for somewhere quiet so he can get his shut eye.\u00a0 He has to be in the Radio 1 studios by 6am to start his show at 6:30.\u00a0 We suspect he\u2019ll be looking for somewhere that\u2019s off the beaten track and with few neighbours.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like to be one of Nick\u2019s new neighbours, check out this 1 bedroom apartment available to rent in Angel.<\/p>\n
