Reese Witherspoon and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal are planning to buy a home together in London.

The couple, who have been dating for over a year after meeting on the set of "Rendition", are reportedly looking at apartments and townhouses in the UK capital's exclusive Mayfair district.

A source told the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: "Reese was extremely concerned about security issues. She seemed to particularly like places where they could enter and exit not directly onto the street. That's not always an easy thing in Central London, especially Mayfair. But we were able to come up with a couple of places both she and Jake seemed to like."

Jake fell in love with London after shooting scenes for his new movie "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" in the city. Friends of the couple are confident the relationship will last, saying they are more in love than ever.

One pal revealed: "I am convinced they will eventually marry and I really think it will be for good. I know we're talking about Hollywood stars, but these two have something special."
