Lily Allen, once known for her hit about being a West End Girl, now seems keen on embodying the lifestyle of one. The singer, riding high on the success of her album “West End Girl,” is in search of a new luxurious abode. Her heart is set on the vibrant locales of Notting Hill and Primrose Hill, areas synonymous with celebrity allure.

With a generous budget reaching up to £5 million, Allen’s recent chart-topping album and sell-out UK tour have significantly boosted her financial standing. The 40-year-old artist is eager to find a fresh start following her recent split, focusing on creating a comfortable haven for herself and her two daughters.

A source close to the star revealed, “Lily is ready to spend and is determined to find her dream home. After her separation, she is looking for the ideal place where she and her daughters can thrive. She’s exploring numerous options to ensure she gets it just right.”

In the meantime, Allen plans to rent out her previous residence, a former council flat in West London that she purchased last year. The acquisition coincided with the unraveling of her marriage to actor David Harbour. The couple previously shared a charming Brownstone townhouse in Brooklyn, but Allen decided to move out amid their personal challenges.

Friends say that the star will rent out her former council flat in West London which she bought last year as her marriage to David Harbour began to fall apart.

She sang about being a West End Girl and now Lily Allen appears intent on living like one by searching for a new home in trendy Notting Hill

Her house hunting comes amid eye-watering self-indulgence that even Allen herself has struggled to defend.

Last month, the singer revealed that she had been ‘shopping like an insane person’ and that she is subsequently receiving treatment for a spending addiction.

She said: ‘I’m just playing with my huge diamond and emerald ring, I bought myself a little present, but it’s not that little.

‘You’ve got to treat yourself and mark the moment. I’m convinced I’m a billionaire. Handbags have been bought, jewels and a car has been bought.’

Among the splurges were a £120,000 Porsche and a £16,500 Hermes handbag, which she was later seen carrying through the streets of East London.

The singer told how she has been receiving eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for the past four months.

But that did not stop her from decamping to the Caribbean for Christmas.

Allen whisked herself off to the Cayman Islands on a luxury holiday with her two children, Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 12, whom she shares with her first husband, builder Sam Cooper, 47.

She was also joined by close friends, influencer Dylan Mulvaney, 29, and Joe Locke, 22, the star of Netflix’s Heartstopper.

Footage from the holiday showed the singer cruising around the islands in a pink Jet Car, which rents for £300-an-hour.

It’s quite the contrast to 2016 when she was forced to sell her beloved £4.2 million ‘house of dreams’ in the Cotswolds after she was sued for an ‘extremely large amount of money’ by a former tour manager, meaning she could no longer pay the money owed.

Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast in October, she said: ‘I had a beautiful house, which was my house of dreams in the countryside.

‘And, I did it up so nice, and it was like my life project, I was very proud of it, it was the place where I was going to raise my children.

‘When my tax bill came along, I tried to work out a deal with HMRC in which I can pay them back in instalments, which I would have been able to do, but they said no, so I had to put my house on the market.’
