Gwen Stefani 'prefers London lifestyle'

Gwen Stefani has admitted she enjoys the laid-back lifestyle she has when living in London.

The No Doubt singer, who has two children with husband Gavin Rossdale, currently splits her time between London and Los Angeles.

"Usually I'm not working in London, so Gavin spoils me and I get to be really dependent," she told InStyle magazine.

"I don't drive when I'm there and I like that. It's a different lifestyle to be able to walk to the little village and get milk. I take Kingston to the gym with me, with no nanny or assistant and that would be very rare in Los Angeles - that I could actually go somewhere on my own.

"Things can get out of hand with the paparazzi, so I don't feel safe," she said.
