Ironically, she sang of her love of London in her first hit in 2007, including the words: I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque.
The singer/songwriter, 23, whose other chart successes include Chasing Pavements and Someone Like You, had throat surgery for a haemorrhaged vocal cord last month.
The career-saving operation was performed in Massachusetts by the same US doctor who treated Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.
A! source said: The operation went well but she still needs to take good care of herself.
Adele is a London girl through and through, but shes never been particularly into the showbiz circuit so when it was suggested she move out of the city, she agreed immediately.
The idea is for her to live in the countryside, away from the capitals smog and pollution.
As the Tottenham-born Brit award winner fights to get well again in time for Februarys Grammys, she is looking at properties priced between 2million and 3million in West Sussex.
The source added: Shes desperate to be fit for the Grammys and be back singing as soon as possible.
Writing on her website recently after the surgery, Adele said: The operation was a success and Im just chilling out now until I get the all-clear from my doctors.
