Nicole KidmanNicole Kidman has decided she’s spent too long staying in hotels while filming in England and has bought a £12million townhouse in Mayfair, London to stay in during future visits.

A source close to Nicole told the Daily Express: “Nicole’s staying at the Dorchester [Hotel] because she’s filming Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials at Shepperton Studios.”

“She saw the house was for sale and decided that, as she spends so much time here, it would make sense to have her own place.”

“Nicole’s neighbours are über-rich Russians and security is tight, which was an added attraction.”
