Where to spot celebrities in Los Angeles

It's no secret that Los Angeles is one of the world's biggest celebrity hotspots. With year-round sunshine, glamorous restaurants and boutiques, plus other stars to hang out with, why would they go anywhere else?

Believe it or not, Hollywood stars don't spend their lives holed up in their mansions and it's easier than you'd think to spot one doing everyday things, like shopping or dining.

Luckily they have their favourite shops, bars and hotels that they return to, increasing your chances of bumping into a celebrity.

If you're looking to do some serious star-stalking on your trip to Los Angeles, you'll want to know where Jessica Alba stops for a morning coffee before a work meeting or which park Gwen Stefani takes Zuma and Kingston to on the weekend.

Whether you fancy indulging in a fancy dinner at Mr Chow or seeing an A-lister for free at Coldwater Canyon Park, we've found LA's top celebrity hangouts.
