A new abode for Keira Knightley and beau Rupert Friend, but this time on the waterways

Keira Knightly and Rupert Friend have rented a canal boat on a waterway in London's East End.

The camera-shy pair are rarely seen out in public and now we know why - they've been spending weekends holed up on their brand new vessel.

Keira and Rupert have secretly been renting their romantic hideaway since the start of the year.

And local residents say the couple are loving their new life on the waterways.

They've hired the boat until the summer and they seem really happy,' said one.

‘They spend most weekends on it, brewing up pots of tea'.

And it seems we can finally put to bed rumours that their relationship is on the rocks.

‘They're a very sweet couple,' the neighbour continued.

‘They like nothing better than strolling along the canal hand in hand and going to the chippy for a fish supper.'
