One Direction stars house hunting in London

One Direction's Harry Styles is currently looking for an impressively-priced house in a "celebrity haven" hot spot.

The 18-year-old star and band member Liam Payne have been spotted looking at properties in excess of £1 million in the upmarket north-west area of London.

One Direction - also comprising of members Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik - have been catapulted to fame and fortune since enjoying global success with their debut album Up All Night.

Harry and Liam are said to be eager to invest their money in a peaceful abode.

"The boys are working so hard and getting so much attention they want to start seeing what they've earned and find somewhere they can call their own and relax in," a source told British newspaper The Sun.

"They really like the idea of Primrose Hill. It's a celebrity haven and they're the biggest news in town right now."

The area is home to the likes of supermodel Kate Moss and actor Rhys Ifans.

The 1,400sq ft property Liam viewed is described as an "extremely spacious two bedroom apartment located in a prestigious Georgian building".

One Direction have been making the most of their generous pay cheques of late.

Zayn Malik reportedly snapped up a second-hand black Bentley Continental GT at the cost of £32,000 recently, while Harry treated himself to a car worth £100,000.
