Beyoncé and Jay-Z 'move to London' ahead of Watch The Throne tour

Reported by Metro.co.uk on Saturday, 12 May 2012 (on May 12, 2012)

*Following in the footsteps of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z are set to move to west London ahead of the UK leg of the rapper's Watch The Throne tour with Kanye West, it has been reported.*

The new parents have decided to rent out a luxury five-bedroom townhouse as they plan to spend increasing amounts of time in the capital this summer.

With their daughter Blue Ivy Carter now on the scene, it's understandably important for the pair to find somewhere a little more permanent than a hotel room.

The deal is thought to see the American A-listers neighbour up with the likes of Simon Cowell and Sir Richard Branson.

A source said: 'Both Jay-Z and Beyoncé are going to be spending a lot of time in London over the next few months.

'Jay is over here for his Watch The Throne Tour and Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Beyoncé will be launching her perfume in Europe over the summer.'

The source added to The Sun: 'They wanted to have somewhere more homely now they are parents.'

Meanwhile, Jay’s Watch The Throne sidekick Kanye West is said to have booked an entire floor of The Lanesborough hotel in London.

The move will undoubtedly impress his new beau Kim Kardashian, who is also coming to the UK to promote her favourite diet trick Quick Trim.

The reality star - who is still bashing out her divorce from her ex Kris Humphries - is thought to have rearranged her schedule so she can fly over with Kanye on a private jet this Tuesday.
