George Clooney is buying a house in London.

The Monuments Men actor - who got engaged to British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin last month - is planning to splash out on a new property in the UK city because his bride-to-be doesn't want to have to relocate her career.

"Amal wants to continue her work, and George is very supportive and proud of her career. He will soon be going to London so they can look for a new home there together," a source told The New York Posts's Page Six column.

It was recently claimed that the couple are planning a low-key wedding at George's Italian estate. "The important people will be there, but this is private, not for public consumption, so it will be friends and family only. It was a long time coming, but when George commits to something he really sees it through. Amal is the one," a source said recently.

The 53-year-old hunk has resigned from his United Nations (UN) role as a messenger for peace, and friends say that is because he intends to team up with Amal for a new project. "He's hitching his wagon to Amal's so he wants a clean slate in every sense. They're not just planning to live together, they're planning to work together too. As a team they could be unbeatable," a source said.
