Lisa Marie Presley quits LA for England 'after buying £8m stately home'

By Mail Online Reporter

New home: Lisa Marie Presley arrives at Heathrow airport with one of her twin daughters


Lisa Marie Presley and her family have arrived in England to start a new life after buying a £8million stately home.

Elvis's daughter has made no secret of her disdain for LA and and has finally made good on her promise to move to the United Kingdom.

The singer flew into Heathrow this week with her fourth husband Michael Lockwood, 42, and their eighteen-month-old twin girls Harper and Finley.

The couple are understood to have purchased a mansion near Tunbridge Wells, Kent, which was being heavily guarded with staff patrolling on quad bikes ahead of their arrival.

The house is right near the former home of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Presley is a renowned follower of Scientology, which she says helped her overcome her drug habit.

Her new home, set on 90 acres, boasts 11 bedrooms, an indoor pool and sauna and a cinema.

It is understood constant gossip surrounding her ex-husband Michael Jackson helped form Presley's decision to flee America.

She also said recently that LA had 'gotten dramatically worse in the last five or six years, even more shallow if that’s even possible.'

Of her love for Britain, she explained: ‘We have found the quality of life so much more enriching and fulfilling.

'The civility, the culture, the people and its beauty have reawakened me and have smoothed out some of my bleak and jagged views about people and life.’

I love the cold and the rain. We have fallen in love with the UK and it is our hope to live here some day.'

Presley sold her three acre mansion in the Hidden Hills, California, for more than £6million in order to purchase her UK home.
