Another day, another Bey 'n' Jay rumour that we really hope turns out to be true. Hot on the heels of yesterday's whispers that the tuneful power couple will give Kimye's wedding a miss, they've reportedly now gone and paid out £5.5 million for a townhouse in the UK capital.

Yep: they're moving to London, baby.

Apparently, the duo looked as far afield as the Cotswolds but have instead opted for a property in West London, close to Portobello market.

'Both Jay and Beyoncé are Anglophiles and have been toying with the idea of getting a pad for a couple of years now,' a source is quoted as telling The Mirror today.

'On previous trips, they have stayed in five star hotels and, on one occasion, rented a mansion. While money isn’t an issue, it makes sense for them to have a more permanent base and get to know one particular area.

'They are coming to England this year and touring before the year is out.'

We already know Jay Z loves riding the Tube. Whatever next? Beyoncé queuing in Pret for her lunch? Blue holding court aboard the pirate ship in Kensington Gardens? We can't wait to find out.
