In 2012, he shared that he lived alone in Shoreditch with his fish.

Shoreditch is a busy part of east London full of trendy places to eat and drink and culture to explore.

"Shoreditch is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood with a mix of culture, history, art, nightlife and cuisine," East London History states.

"Whether you want to explore the street art, visit the markets, enjoy the pubs and clubs, or learn about the rich heritage of this former industrial area, Shoreditch has something for everyone.

"Shoreditch is one of the best places to visit in East London."

The actor grew up in a much quieter part of the UK - Aberbargoed in the county of Caerphilly, south Wales.

This is a rural part of Wales that is home to Aberbargoed Grasslands.

The grasslands have beautiful flowers to see and also a large population of marsh fritillary butterflies.

Luke is not the only celebrity to swap his hometown for a property in London.
