A sex worker operating out of a block of flats owned by a multimillionaire in one of London’s wealthiest areas has revealed she needs to bed “30 men a month” to pay the rent – and her mum thinks she’s a cleaner.
A shocking investigation by the Sunday Times has revealed more than 100 prostitutes are operating out of a block of flats in Chelsea, owned by property tycoon Christopher Moran.
The findings suggest Chelsea Cloisters could be the “biggest brothel” in Britain. It is allegedly so prolific that frequent customers refer to it as the “infamous 10 floors of whores”.
A simple online search of “Chelsea Cloisters and escorts” lists several websites offering women who’ll provide sexual services within the building.
Elana*, from Bucharest, Romania, has lived there for three years and her half-naked pictures appear on numerous websites that advertise women in the building.
She offers a “girlfriend experience” – which includes sex – and charges clients £150 an hour, £50 of which goes to the listing websites, who regularly send people round to collect the cash.
Her rent costs over £3,000 a month for a cramped studio flat and she entertains up to four or five “clients” a day, she told the Sunday Times.
Having previously worked as an escort in Paris, Elena is now competing with “a lot” of other women in the building that offer the same service, including her friend in the neighbouring apartment.
On a prostitute review website, one man boasts how he pushed a woman up against a wall by her throat before performing a violent sex act on her.
One website states on its homepage: “For the punters that knows best, the Chelsea Cloisters in London SW3 has always been notorious place for accommodating sexy London escorts in London. And the tradition continues today (sic).”
