OMG! Paris Hilton's London home is a former brothel

Heiress's pad has a racy history

Paris Hilton is shooting her new reality show in the UK

Paris Hilton has revealed that she's about to move into a converted Victorian brothel.

The heiress has splashed out £850,000 on the unusual property, which is just off London's famed Commercial Road in the East End.

‘It’s just beautiful,’ Paris says. ‘It doesn’t have regular rooms but is more like a maze.’

Paris, 27, is said to have been impressed by the bizarre history of the house.

‘It has been a Chinese restaurant, a gin palace, an opium den and in the 19th Century it was a brothel,’ a source tells the Daily Star.

'Metal joists where clients were manacled to the wall for their own pleasure have been sympathetically restored so the juicy past of the place isn’t lost.

'Paris really appreciated the quirkiness of the place – and the knockdown price for such a unique building – and immediately put in an offer.’

Paris is in London filming her reality TV series Paris Hilton: My British Best Friend.
