Washington, Dec 20 : Keira Knightley is saying goodbye to London in order to lead a more "domestic" life in the countryside with boyfriend Rupert Friend.

The British actress is planning to shift to the south of England with Friend in a bid to get away from the constant media attention she gets in the city.

"I'm moving out of the centre so that I can lead a more domestic life," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"I want to have local things like shops and nice pubs. Central London is just too busy. I am also not a very sociable person.

"I went to the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party and just stood in the corner drinking champagne. Honestly, I don't like parties very much. I have very few real friends in showbusiness so it's really not my crowd," she added.
