Zendaya, despite her Hollywood status, seemed to fit extremely well in London.
The Dune franchise actor relaxed in boyfriend Tom Holland’s city, enjoying shopping and lunch in nearby Notting Hill.
Locals in Richmond, the upscale suburb where the playing power couple lives, keep an eye out for them and refer to them as their own Will and Kate.
When protective residents are seen out strolling or drinking at their neighbourhood bar, there is an implicit ‘leave them alone’ rule in place.
They met on the set of Spider-Man in 2016 and have been together since 2021. They share a £2.6 million property in Richmond, near where Holland, 28, grew up.
Zendaya, 27, a Hollywood professional since the age of 14, supposedly prefers a stroll in Richmond Park or along the Thames over walking the red carpet in Los Angeles in a fancy gown.

She was later spotted enjoying a spot of lunch in Notting Hill, nearby her and Tom Holland’s home Richmond
‘Anyone who’s served them is the first to tell you about it and I’ve always heard they’re really polite and considerate. She apparently loves it here because no one asks her for pictures.
‘But we all have this unsaid rule to sort of leave them alone. You might see them in Waitrose occasionally and give them a nod but nothing more.’
Holland, who now plays Romeo in the West End production of Romeo and Juliet, purchased a modest four-bedroom house in Richmond in 2018 to be close to his family.
One local remarked, ‘It’s kind of become a game among us locals: who can recognise the silver Porsche because that is normally how we look out for Tom and Zendaya.
Zendaya spent the first half of the year promoting Challengers, a romantic comedy about tennis, and has been having a very British summer, including an appearance in the royal box at Wimbledon.
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Sandra Bullock are among the Hollywood celebrities that have called Richmond home.

Tom Holland, who is presently appearing as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet in the West End (pictured) purchased the rather modest four-bedroom house in Richmond in 2018.
The actress, dressed in an £87 tank top from US brand Agolde, £651 knitted ballerina flats from Bottega Veneta, and a £1,820 Diane purse from Louis Vuitton, was photographed lunching at the upmarket deli founded by Israeli-British chef Yotam Ottolenghi in Notting Hill.
Darnell Appling, her best friend and long-time personal assistant, joined her as she emerged with chopped fruit and a feta and honey-roasted carrot salad.
The two also drank Kombucha, a trendy health drink made from fermented black tea, and iced coffee.
Later, she took selfies with several passing fans.
Notting Hill has become a popular destination for celebrities. Adwoa Aboah, a model-turned-actor, was joined by Hollywood actress Sienna Miller and her boyfriend, Oli Green, in the same location the previous day.
