23 June, 2012

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z surprised diners when they showed up at a local cafe in south east London’s Forest Hill recently the Sun reports.

The From The Forest cafe, in Forest Hill, were treated to the custom of the loved up couple. The musicians – who have been in the United Kingdom while the rapper tours with Kanye West on their Watch The Throne tour – dined in and were relatively low-key according to onlookers.

A source said: ”It was surreal to see them sitting there. They looked like an ordinary couple, but obviously, they’re not.




”They didn’t make a fuss and only had a couple of security guards with them. I think they were in the area for business meetings.”

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Bey had bought Jay a £25 million jet for his first Father’s Day.
