Braless Lily James enjoys a passionate kiss with boyfriend Matt Smith during alfresco lunch

Lily James and Matt Smith were first linked over a year ago but did not go public with their relationship until they were spotted enjoying a passionate kiss last October. 

And nine months later it looks like Lily James and Matt Smith are still crazy for one another as the couple were seen packing on the PDA once again during an intimate lunch in London last Wednesday.

Unable to hide his affection, Matt, 32, was seen leaning in for a passionate kiss as he and his 26-year-old girlfriend reveled in the city's balmy climes and dined alfresco.

Ditching her bra, the Cinderella actress was the epitome of an English rose in a white sundress with a flowing hem. 

Locking hands with her thespian beau, Lily styled the dress with a pair of black, embellished sandals and some over-sized sunglasses. 

Demonstrating her natural beauty, the actress looked to have injected little effort into her hair and make-up, wrapping half of her blonde locks into a messy top knot whilst her face was free of product.

Matt looked equally relaxed in a loose-fitting checked shirt. 

He teamed the shirt with navy chinos and a pair of stylish suede loafers as he concealed his face beneath a pair.

The couple are quite private when it comes to their relationship and speaking previously, Lily admitted she was worried about talking publicly about her love life in case it all went wrong.

She told InStyle: 'In regards to your love life, you’re just entering into a whole of pain if you talk about it. If you’ve never said anything, there are no sound bites to haunt you when you’re crying into a box of Kleenex after it all goes wrong.'

However, things are going so well between them that the two British stars were recently rumoured to be searching for their first house together in London's Primrose Hill.

The area is the stomping ground of Matt's ex-girlfriend Daisy Lowe, who he split from in 2013 after 18 months.

Matt and Lilly are enjoying some downtime in London and spent the day with Matt's former Doctor Who co-star Jenna Coleman in London on Saturday. 

Fans last saw Matt and Jenna together in the 2013 Christmas special of Doctor Who, before he passed on the torch to Peter Capaldi.

But the former Time Lord and his companion enjoyed a low-key when they stopped by celebrity hotspot The Chiltern Firehouse, with his Lily.

And the group have another connection as Jenna's ex Richard Madden played Prince Charming opposite Lily in Cinderella.  

While Jenna - who plays Clara Oswald in the show - is said to be considering following in Matt's footsteps by making a push for Hollywood, her current co-star Capaldi said he hoped she won't quit the show. 

He told the Sunday Mirror: 'Will these be her last shows? I hope not. Jenna continues to deliver a beautifully nuanced, complex and funny performance that marks her out as one of the best companions ever.'

And no matter what Jenna decides, it's likely she had plenty to discuss with Matt, who she has remained close to since they worked together.

Indeed Jenna previously joked that she felt like she was 'cheating' on Smith when she met the new Doctor.

'She is cheating on me. She should be traumatised!' Smith quipped when told of her remarks. 'I'll miss Jenna, she is amazing. A great friend and a wonderful, hard-working, brilliant actress and I'll miss hanging around with her.'
