Claudia Schiffer the German supermodel, has decided to follow the example of the foreign celebrities Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Boris Becker and move to London. Miss Schiffer has bought a lavish three-bedroom flat in a sought-after West London block. The model, has decided to move to Notting Hill. Miss Schiffer, whose boyfriend is Tim Jeffries, the Green Shield stamps heir, intends to move into the ?700,000 flat next month and will concentrate on a series of advertising campaigns in Britain. She has not yet moved in but has been seen going in and out of the flat. Her spokesman said she loved London and wanted to make it her base. Her spokesman said last night: "Claudia is moving over here like a lot of these superstars. She has a number of big projects lined up in England." Miss Schiffer’s flat comes with tight security, uniformed porters, cleaners and the option of secretarial assistance. Justin Sumner, of FDP Savills, Kensington, said: "The three-bedroom flats are around 1,500 sq ft. A typical price for one is ?600,000 to ?750,000." The millionaire model has made her fortune from fitness videos and advertising campaigns. But Notting Hill locals, used to meeting celebrities, were unimpressed at the prospect of another famous face in the area. Sarah Anderson, co-owner of the Travel Bookshop, upon which the shop in the film Notting Hill was based, said: "We do try to ignore the fact that people are famous when they come in."

Opened the ’Fashion Cafe’ in New York as a joint venture with Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington, however that went pear shaped. She was engaged to magician David Copperfield (the tenth most rich entertainer in the world) who gave her a $4.5 million five-carat gold, oval-cut, diamond engagement ring after dating her for seven months, they split up after some years and she began dating local boy Tim Jefferies, that too ended but she is now in a relationship with film producer Mathew Vaughn.
Claudia Schiffer once refused $250,000 to appear in a German yogurt commercial because they wanted her to get yogurt on her nose. Naomi Campbell ended up getting the job.
