Simon Cowell Leaves London, Moves to Countryside
According to People, Cowell has left his home in London’s Holland Park and moved to Oxfordshire, a county in the English countryside. The star was reportedly looking for privacy and open space.
“He moved into the home a few months ago and is really enjoying the freedom of country life,” a source told the outlet. “Simon loves his cars and he can now drive them around the country lanes as much as he wants.”
The source added that Cowell is “still going to keep doing his work in the U.S. but now has a home to come back to where he can relax that’s away from London.” He apparently wants to “live a relatively anonymous life.”
Cowell is reportedly living full-time in his new Oxfordshire home, where he’s moved his art collection and electric bikes. His 9-year-old son Eric is also apparently able to ride around the grounds on his quad bike.
