A source close to the Mission Impossible star, 63, said he left his £35million pad because he felt the star-studded location had 'declined' recently.
A terrifying robbery of the Rolex store near Cruise's building last week saw attackers on motorbikes ram into the shop and swing machetes at brave security guards who tried to stop them.
The thugs entered the Bucherer with a large sledge hammer, two small claw hammers and a centre point tool used for smashing thick glass.
Around 20 watches were robbed in the broad daylight raid last week which went on for three terrifying minutes before the yobs fled on their bikes.
'The over aggressive attack on the store below cemented the lack of security surrounding the multi-million pound flats where Cruise lives,' the source close to the A-list actor said.
'He often loved to take a walk around the area but it seems like Knightsbridge is becoming less safe by the week. He just felt the area has declined in the past year or two.'
Cruise was known to go for early morning runs in Hyde Park, which is directly across the road - named South Carriage Drive - from the high-end block he lived in.
One worker at a neighbouring hotel told the Daily Mail that motorbikes from either side of the Rolex store had swooped in a well-planned, pincer movement.
The worker was having a cigarette break in Serpentine Walk, a path that runs from the large South Carriage Drive to the Knightsbridge road, where the front of the luxury watch store can be accessed.
He said two bikes sped past him, with at least one driver carrying a 'very big knife', while other robbers came from the Knightsbridge side.

Let third world in, expect third world results.
the price of diversity that no one told us about when they insisted that we’re replaceable and ‘had’ to open our borders.
Breaks my Heart to think 63 yrs old Tommy left his 35 mil crib for parts unknown.
When you have a Mayor that does nothing but pray all day

Is Tom Cruise smart enough to make that connection?
Probably not. He’ll just move, and let others deal with the chaos.
Yeah, but Hollywood thinks UK/EU are so wonderful.
Buy an Island Tom, and cruise on down there for safety.

Damned Welsh criminals!
And a segment of the population that does nothing but prey all day.
At least he's not involved in politics. All I know is that he is passionate about Scientology.
Then, he will have to contend with Caribbean pirates! 🏴☠️
Some Caribbean countries are as bad about self defense as UK or California.
Tom’s neighbors saying thanks for boosting the local real estate market
Uh, why not ‘give’ it to his church? Islamists might like some Scientology’s to debate.
So in other words he went to one of his other $35 million properties. 🙄
Get out a movie camera, and Tom can clean up London single-handedly.
With or without him flying a fighter jet.
According to a recent report on global wealth by Henley & Partners, in 2024 the UK lost more millionaire residents than any city in the world except for Moscow – with 9,500 high-net-worth individuals departing in just 12 months.To many, the trigger for this behaviour is Labour's controversial inheritance tax law, which means that, for the first time, all global assets (instead of just UK ones) owned by non-doms are subject to 40 per cent tax after ten years in the UK.
'The stupidity of this is beyond comprehension,' says Trevor Abrahamson of Glentree Estates. 'If you want them to pay tax, they will pay tax. But not on everything.'
Two of his clients – Lakshmi Mittal, the Indian steel magnate, and Norwegian shipping magnate, John Fredriksen have already left for Dubai.
'They're wealth creators,' says Mr Abrahamson. 'Which idiotic country would create an environment so they leave?'
