The Game of Thrones star looked handsome as he strolled around the city in a navy bomber-style jacket.

He teamed the casual jacket with a pair of black jeans and a matching coloured top, opting for suede Chelsea boots. 

Taking some time out of his hectic schedule, the Scottish actor donned a pair of black aviator shades as he tried to keep a low profile.

Richard has had a successful year after his debut in BBC's Bodyguard earned him a Golden Globe award.

The role won him a legion of female fans, partly thanks to his steamy sex scenes with co-star Keeley Hawes.

His latest movie has just premiered on the big screen in Elton John's highly anticipated biopic, Rocketman.  

The new film sees Richard take on the role of Elton John's manager and lover John Reid.

The story reveals Elton John's rise to the top and his eventual collaboration with Bernie Taupin, who he collaborated with to produce the 1972 hit song Rocketman.

Richard strips off once again but this time, in sex scenes with Taron Egerton who plays his on-screen lover.

The film was released in UK cinemas on May 22, and will be on screen in the US on May 31.

Richard attended Cannes Film Festival last week to join his co-stars at the film's premiere. 

On Monday night, the actor also attended the glamorous premiere of Rocketman at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square, London.  

The star has also been touted as a possible replacement for Daniel Craig when his stint as James Bond comes to an end later this year.

Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba, James Norton, Tom Hiddleston and Tom Hardy are also believed to be in the running.
