Don’t believe everything you read online. One website claimed he was living in Ireland and running a bed-and-breakfast. I snorted my tea at that one. Can you imagine the reviews? “Beautiful views, but the host has a mean right hook.”
Another rumor says he’s in Portugal, teaching English lessons. Let’s pause: picture Kenneth Noye conjugating verbs for tourists. “I go, you go, he goes to prison for twenty years.” No, thanks.
The most reliable info comes from court documents and parole hearings, which suggest he’s subject to strict monitoring. So wherever he is, Big Brother is watching—and probably has a headache from the effort.
The Bottom Line
Here’s what we know for certain: Kenneth Noye is not your neighbor. Unless you live in a mansion with a moat and a dragon. He’s almost certainly not living in plain sight, unless you count “plain sight” as a euphemism for “a villa with a high wall.”

His exact location is a tightly guarded secret, protected by his legal team and a healthy dose of paranoia. And honestly? Most people are fine with that. The world doesn’t need a celebrity map of where the ex-gangsters live—we have enough reality TV.
So, where does Kenneth Noye live now? In the same place all retired villains do: in the imagination of the tabloids, in the file cabinets of the police, and in the wary minds of anyone who reads a true-crime podcast description.
