Gallagher to quit London

Oasis star Noel Gallagher is set to quit London after tiring of the British capital's over-crowding.

Oasis star Noel Gallagher is set to quit London after tiring of the British capital's over-crowding.

The Manchester-native is sick of sharing his adopted hometown with over 7 million other people and laments the amount of time he spends in queues.

The Wonderwall hitmaker moans: "I am getting quite fed up with London at the minute.

"When I moved to London about 12 years ago it blew me away, but the novelty has worn off. It has become so overcrowded we have decided to up sticks and move out."

Gallagher currently shares a home in north London with his girlfriend of three years Sara McDonald, as well as country estate in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire.

Gallagher has written a song about his hatred of lining up, called 'Part of the queue' for the band's forthcoming album.
