Rumours of a Paris Hilton London property purchase have been circulating ever since the Rat and Mouse was just a Kitten and a Pup (sounds weird, doesn't it, but it's right). Back in May, she was apparently moving to London because of the men, their "cute little accents and their manners". Now, it's not just the blokes, she's extending her love to every one of us, because we're just, like, so real.

"London is my favourite city in the world. I love their accents, their attitude," the Daily Star quotes her as saying. "They are so real, they are not fake."

You're so right, Paris, and the realness and not fakeness starts right here, baby. She says she's looking in St John's Wood. Who knows, perhaps she'll fall in love with a well-mannered, cute-accented St John's Wood estate agent, like James here, buy a house from him, get married, and scatter a little stardust on this havoc-blasted London property market.

According to the Daily Mail (and everything that means) Kate Moss managed to alienate her new St Johns Wood neighbours even before "a fleet of pantechnicons arrived with her belongings, including a mattress, lampshades and an outdoor setting", by indulging in a certain amount of raucousness at a friend's pad, just down the road. The Mail goes on to chat with a number of Moss's new neighbours, and learns that angry local residents have already contacted their MP and the police. Blimey.

It's vanished, gone from Knight Frank's listings, with just this ghostly hint at what was, on Nestoria:

But when you click it, you get nowhere...

Lucky the RealEstalker got the scoop here.

... which you can find here.

She owns a smallish landlocked house at the end of xxxxx xxxx in St John's Wood but rents a flat locally if she's having any work done in her house. The number of the house is xA so perhaps that's why it seems that it is an apartment.

I can tell you a couple of intriguing particulars about the house if that's what she's selling and if it's of any interest as I have been there a few times.

I don't blame her for moving on from there, it's easy for anyone to track down her address and she lives at the end of a t-road. Her only escape is through the front door and gate as the site is blocked in at all sides. I can't imagine why she'd bother with the hassle of selling it, she could just buy another house locally and leave her assistant there.

In brief... because I'm about to leave for meetings... it's Kate Moss - and who can blame her? She's apparently selling her flat and looking for somewhere, in St John's Wood, that's more private. A link to particulars, as always, welcome.

It's called The Collection - a residential conversion of Boundary Road, NW8's BritArt birthplace - and prices will be collectors only, ranging from £2.85m to £4.45m. They're saying that each of the homes will be named after YBA's launched by the Saatchi Gallery in the 1990s. The developers are Vanderbilt Properties and Oakmayne, the architects are PKS, interiors will be by Darling Associates and Knight Frank are the agents.

Thanks to a Rat and Mouse reader for pointing me in the direction of this piece - which suggests that 7, Cavendish Avenue, the St John's Wood home owned (but not occupied) by Paul McCartney ever since the mid-60s, is on the market for £4.15 million. So far - however - online particulars evade me. In the meantime, if there's anything else (and I mean anything) you want to know about Macca and NW8, go here.
