Lindsay Lohan has "grown up" since moving to London.

She said: "I can go for a run here on my own. I do every morning, early, and I think how my friends in New York would still be up partying at that time. I needed to grow up and London is a better place for me to do that than anywhere else."

The 'Mean Girls' star has famously struggled with alcohol and drug addiction in the past and she blames her troubles on the lifestyle she's now left behind.

She explained: "In LA I didn't know what to do apart from go out every night. That's when my friends were free. And I would go out and there would be all these cameras there and that's when it became difficult."

Lindsay admits being able to escape the paparazzi and constant media attention in London is one of the main things pushing her to stay here permanently.

She added to The Observer newspaper: "I won't live in LA again, hell no. My friends tell me s**t when they come over I don't want to hear. I don't even know who got married and who got pregnant. You turn on the news in LA and it is all gossip about people ... I haven't heard myself mentioned on TV since I have been here. That has been really weird for me, and great."
