Zendaya may be a star in Hollywood, but she looks right at home in London.
The actress from the Dune movies showed how at ease she is in the city where her boyfriend Tom Holland lives by shopping and then having lunch in Notting Hill.
People in Richmond, the fancy suburb where the famous pair lives, watch out for them and call them their own Will and Kate.
When protective neighbors see them out for a walk or a drink at the local pub, they have an unspoken “leave them alone” rule.
In 2016, they met on the set of Spider-Man. They’ve been together since 2021. They live together in a £2.6 million house in Richmond, close to where Holland, 28, grew up.
Zendaya, 27, has been in Hollywood since she was 14 years old, but she seems to like taking a walk in Richmond Park or along the Thames more than walking the red carpet in LA in an expensive dress.

The actress smiled and posed for pictures with fans while having a fun day in sunny London, which is something she doesn’t usually do in Richmond.
People have also seen the couple having date nights in private at the nearby pub The Norbiton, where they eat stone-fired pizza, and shopping at their local supermarket without making a scene.
A person who lives in Richmond told The Mail on Sunday, “We see them all the time.” Tom loves his family so much that he’s stayed in the area, which she seems to love.
“Anyone who’s worked with them will tell you how nice and helpful they are,” No one wants to take shots of her, so it looks like she loves it here.
“But we all know that we should leave them alone,” she said. You might see them in Waitrose once in a while and give them a nod, but that’s about it.
Holland bought a simple four-bedroom house in Richmond in 2018 to be close to his family. He is currently playing Romeo in Romeo and Juliet on the West End.
People in the area said, “It’s kind of become a game: who can spot the silver Porsche? That’s how we usually keep an eye out for Tom and Zendaya.”
Zendaya has been having a very British summer, including an appearance in the royal box at Wimbledon. She spent the first half of the year supporting Challengers, a romantic comedy about tennis.
A lot of famous people from Hollywood have lived in Richmond, including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Sandra Bullock.

The actress was seen having lunch at the high-end deli in Notting Hill owned by Israeli-British cook Yotam Ottolenghi. She wore an £87 tank top from the US brand Agolde, £651 knitted ballerina flats from Bottega Veneta, and a £1,820 Louis Vuitton Diane satchel.
People saw her come out with chopped fruit and a feta and honey-roasted carrot salad. Her best friend and longtime personal helper, Darnell Appling, was with her.
A famous health drink called Kombucha is made from fermented black tea, and the two also drank iced coffee.
After that, she took selfies with some friends who were walking by.
Well-known people gather in Notting Hill. It was the same place the day before that model-turned-actress Adwoa Aboah was joined by Sienna Miller and her boyfriend Oli Green.
