Posh pad for Posh Spice

Los Angeles - Victoria Beckham is house-hunting in London.

The Spice Girls singer has been spotted viewing luxury properties in the UK, just five days after her Los Angeles Galaxy star husband David announced he was leaving his American football team.

The 38-year-old fashion designer - who has children Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, seven-year-old Cruz, and 16-month-old daughter Harper - was chauffeured between four different South London mansions in a Range Rover.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Wherever [David] ends up, a house in the capital is a perfect investment.

"It means Victoria can be close to her blossoming fashion business and the schools are among the best in the world.''

The viewings included a four-storey 17th century house worth £9m and a renovated £6m pad near TV chef Gordon Ramsay's family home.

Victoria also visited a lavish Grade II listed building near the Thames, which is on the market for £18m and features seven bedrooms, a wine cellar and a gym.

However, the stylish star is said to have been completely won over by the fourth property, a £10m mansion which was rented out by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie last year.

The source added: ''She fell in love with it straight away.

"It was the most secluded out of all of them.''
