appeared to be in jovial spirits as he landed in London on his helicopter with his 'new love' Ana de Armas.
The Hollywood star, 63, and the Blonde actress, 37, were first linked in February and have been spotted travelling together on many occasions since then.
In their latest trip, the pair touched down in London on Friday and travelled in A-list style as they stepped out of Tom's lavish helicopter together.
Tom cut a casual figure in a blue T-shirt and dark jeans, which he styled with white trainers and slung a backpack over one shoulder.
The Mission: Impossible star appeared to be in jovial spirits as he flashed a huge smile and waved after stepping out the helicopter.
He was joined by Ana, who cut a sporty figure in black leggings and a grey ' Vermont ' sweater, which she styled with comfortable black shoes.

She brought her two beloved dogs with her on their travels and sweetly cradled her Maltese Elvis in her arms while Havanese pup Salsa walked alongside her.
Former racing driver David Coulthard also joined the group and was seen strolling alongside Tom upon his arrival in London.
The F1 star, 54, looked smart in a polo shirt and navy jeans, which he styled with a black bomber jacket during the outing.
Tom and Ana were first linked on Valentine's Day of this year and have been frequently seen in each other's company since.
Though they have not yet commented on their relationship, they jetted off for a sun-soaked trip to Menorca earlier this month.
They were photographed looking very comfortable in each other's company as they enjoyed a luxury yacht trip during the holiday.
'Tom has been showering Ana with gifts ever since they met, it's his thing, he is thoughtful,' a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
'First it started with her favorite flowers then books he thought she would want to read because she's an avid reader.'
'The more they got to know each other, the bigger the gifts became. There has been jewelry like gold bracelets and designer clothing, things like that, things every girl would love.
'Probably the biggest gift he has given her is being able to go anywhere in the world at a moment's notice, not many people can do that. She loves to travel.'
DailyMail.com contacted Tom and Ana's representatives at the time.
Ana was last known to be dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba 's president, with the pair photographed kissing during a night out in Madrid, Spain, in November 2024.
Meanwhile, Tom was previously linked to Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova - the ex-wife of oligarch Dimitry Tsvetkov.
Tom and Ana first sparked romance rumours on Valentine's Day, when they were spotted for what was reportedly a professional dinner in London.
The following month, they were pictured with cheeky smiles on both of their faces after their flight landed at the London Heliport.
In April, the pair were spotted arriving together in London again to spend Ana's 37th birthday together, with fans spotting them on a romantic stroll a park that same week.
They have been friends ever since they co-starred in the 2019 movie Wasp Network.
Tom and Ana are currently co-starring in Doug Liman's supernatural thriller Deeper.
On Good Morning America in May, Ana said: 'It's so much fun. We're definitely working on a lot of things.
'Not just one, but a few projects with [filmmakers] Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.'
Tom shares a daughter Suri, 19, with his ex-wife Katie Holmes - who he was married to from November 2006 until June 2012, when Katie filed for divorce.
The following month, the couple signed a divorce settlement worked out by their lawyers.
The acrimonious split saw Tom state that Katie divorced him in part to protect Suri from Scientology and that she is no longer a practicing member of the organisation.
Tom was also wed to Nicole Kidman from 1990 until 2001 and they adopted two children together - Bella, 32 and Connor, 30.
Nicole is now married to Keith Urban and the couple have two daughters - Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson's fans go wild as couple confirm they're in LOVE after taking their relationship to the next level with a PDA-packed post

and Louis Tomlinson 's fans have gone wild as the couple confirmed they're in love. The couple, who began dating in secret as they worked out their romance, have now gone public as they locked lips on her social media grid. The TV presenter, 28, and the singer, 33, are reportedly 'the real deal' after declaring their love for each other for the world to see underneath the post. Louis commented, 'I love you' under the picture of them kissing, which Zara shared with her followers on Monday evening. The post sent fans crazy as they rushed to the comments to gush over their relationship. They penned: 'Crying screaming, throwing up cuties omg... I'm freaking out OMGGG SO PROUD OF YOU... Such a beautiful couple. I'm so happy for you. 'THAT'S SO CUTE... IM GONNA CRY THIS IS THE CUTESY THING EVER... AMAZING COUPLE MAN.' It was first revealed five months ago that Zara and Louis were dating after they struck up a romance at the start of the year, but now friends say it's serious. An insider told the Sun: 'Louis and Zara dated out of the public eye for a while before going public so they could make sure this was the real deal. 'They've both never been happier and are a lovely couple. Louis and Zara are both very career driven and support each other's endeavours.' The former Love Island star hit headlines when she was linked to the One Direction superstar earlier this year when they were spotted enjoying a secret date. And earlier this week, Zara seemed to prove things are certainly serious as she sent fans wild with a snap of them locking lips for a very cheeky selfie. She captioned the post with a simple red love heart emoji. Zara and Louis went Instagram official in June, five months after they began dating as they enjoyed the weekend at Glastonbury with their pals. The post sent fans crazy as they rushed to the comments to gush over their relationship The couple were spotted packing on the PDA in a TikTok video at the festival as Louis wrapped his arms around Zara who flopped her head back onto his shoulder, while enjoying the music. The pair's relationship hasn't come without its challenges after Louis and Zara's ex Sam Thompson came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid in June. Zara and the former Made In Chelsea star split in December after five years together, with Zara moving out of the pair's home. And a seemingly awkward interaction ensued when the two men met, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara later admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'. She told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.' The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'. 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.' Last month Zara seemingly gave a sweet nod to her relationship with Louis in an Instagram video as she wore a necklace with the initial 'L' while speaking to fans on Instagram stories. While Zara or her jewellery didn't mention Louis by name, her delicate gold chain with the letter 'L' rather than her own initial certainly alluded to her blossoming romance. Meanwhile, Sam has admitted he'd had an 'uncomfortable' start to the year after he and Zara split up. The TV personality insisted that sometimes a difficult period can 'shock' someone into making a much-needed change in their life. Appearing on his close friend Pete Wicks ' Man Made podcast, he candidly reflected on the past year following the split and how he has evolved. He said: 'It's such a weird one because I still look to people for help all the time. 'I look to you, if I'm ever in a problem, I'll call you, I'll call Marvin, I'll call Tony, I'll call Ryan, my brother-in -law, I'll call Louise. 'I have a lot of people who I depend on and as much as I love that, I still feel inside like I'm not quite at the place where I can take care of myself.' Pete asked: 'So do you think then that asking people for help or being dependent on other people makes you less of a man?' Sam clarified: 'Asking for help, no. I think I lean a little bit too heavily into the depending.' It comes after Sam and Zara ended their relationship in December, following a holiday season spent separately. A source close to the couple told Daily Mail at the time: 'Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It's been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other. 'But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025. 'There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it's just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.' The couple were last seen together celebrating Zara's birthday in December, where Sam dedicated an Instagram post to his girlfriend, calling her his 'soulmate' and 'best friend.'

First edition of The Hobbit discovered in UK home sells for £43,000

It is one of only 1,500 copies printed in September 1937, according to auction house Auctioneum, and was sold to a UK-based private collector at an auction held in Bath. Caitlin Riley, book specialist at Auctioneum, said: 'It's the quintessential auction story. Everyone dreams of finding a rare item hidden in plain sight, and here we are. 'House clearances can be tricky, stressful and troublesome – if ever there is a good advert for our service, it's this! This could have so easily been sent to landfill or disposed of by someone who didn't realise it was there. It really is a lucky survivor! 'The result just goes to show the pure love for Tolkien's work. Written nearly 90 years ago, it's amazing how relevant and popular it still is. 'People still want the escape; they want to delve into a fantastical world and discover new characters. Some people are clearly willing to pay large sums for the privilege. 'Much like the tale within the covers – selling this has been a real adventure. 'We've had hundreds of inquiries from all around the world and whilst we were expecting a certain amount of interest, we weren't quite expecting this much! It's a wonderful result, for a very special book.' Including buyer's premium, which is an additional charge that the winning bidder must pay on top of the hammer price, the book totalled £52,000. It was discovered in the family library of Hubert Priestley, a famous botanist in the 1930s and brother to Antarctic explorer and geologist Sir Raymond Edward Priestley. The auction house said Priestley and Tolkien both shared mutual correspondence with author CS Lewis, as well as strong connections to the University of Oxford, meaning it is likely both men knew each other. Ms Riley said: 'To think that just a few weeks ago this book was sat undiscovered on a bookshelf in a Bristol house, and has gone on to make headlines around the world, is quite incredible. 'It's the connection to Tolkien and the important provenance that makes this book so special. It's not just any first edition; it belonged to someone who very likely called Tolkien an acquaintance.' The Hobbit, a children's fantasy novel published in 1937, follows hobbit Bilbo Baggins as he is joined by wizard Gandalf and the 13 dwarves of Thorin's Company in a bid to win their treasure from dragon Smaug. Peter Jackson directed the film trilogy, which starred Martin Freeman as titular hobbit Bilbo.
