Tom Cruise Reportedly Vanishes From London Home Overnight, Staff Call It “Most Strange”

Tom Cruise unexpectedly left his London penthouse and returned to the United States, surprising those who work and live near him. The 61-year-old actor, who had lived in Britain for a long time and was known for enjoying English culture, quickly moved out of his apartment overlooking Hyde Park earlier this month, reportedly leaving building staff shocked, according to the Mail on Sunday.

According to sources, Tom Cruise quickly moved out of his penthouse, leaving staff surprised by how suddenly he left. One insider said the move was unexpected, and especially odd considering how much Cruise had become a part of the local community.

Tom Cruise has been a longtime resident of London, known for his simple pleasures like morning runs in Hyde Park, visits to neighborhood pubs, and helicopter trips to explore the surrounding countryside. According to a source, “Tom loved London and his life there; he’d regularly start his day with a run in Hyde Park.” His recent absence from these familiar activities has left those who know him confused.

Tom Cruise’s decision to move comes after reports of disagreements between him, the Church of Scientology, and people living in East Grinstead. Late in 2025, the Church hosted lavish events at Saint Hill Manor, which reportedly led to traffic problems and noise complaints. Residents also said Cruise’s helicopter was flown too low, causing disturbance to both people and animals in the surrounding area.

It’s not certain if this is a permanent change, but Tom Cruise maintains strong working relationships in the UK. With continuing projects alongside Christopher McQuarrie and a long-term agreement with Warner Bros., he’ll likely continue to film in Britain for years to come.

Tom Cruise’s move follows his breakup with Ana de Armas in October 2025, after a nine-month relationship. Although he’s leaving his home in Knightsbridge, he’s still working on several films and other projects. According to a source, England had become more than just a place to film over the years, as Cruise has a long history with the country.

People who live and work nearby are now unsure if Cruise is simply taking a break or beginning a new phase of his life back home in the U.S.
