Paris Hilton goes drinking alone at Madonna's pub

Paris Hilton has only been in London a day and her quest to find a new BFF (best friend forever) doesn't appear to be going well.

The hotel heiress started off her night at Madonna and Guy Ritchie's pub in Mayfair, before moving on to Whisky Mist nightclub.

Notably absent was the socialite's boyfriend Benji Madden or one of her usual female hangers-on, leaving only Hilton's bodyguards and staff to escort her around the capital.

If Hilton was looking in The Punchbowl or Whisky Mist for a new friend, it appears her search, for now, was fruitless.

The 27-year-old went for the contemporary Bet Lynch look last night in a leopard-print wrap dress and patent peep top heels.

Hilton was also carrying what appeared to be a faux fur bag - she swore off real fur last year after watching a animal rights video narrated by Heather Mills.

After enjoying a lonely drink in Madonna and Ritchie's pub The Punchbowl, Hilton moved on to nearby Whisky Mist to finish off the night.

Hilton managed to anger club owners when she insisted on having her table in the VIP area roped off.

The club is regularly frequented by young royal Princes William and Harry - who have never requested such special attention.

The reality star's special attention didn't go down with regulars at the club.

One partygoer said: 'They don't even do this for Prince William and Harry.

She wasn't even drinking alcohol, she stuck to bottles of Fiji water all night. But she was still dancing and singing away - standing on the seats at one point.'

Hilton flew into London on Tuesday to begin filming her new TV show 'My BFF', which sees the socialite trawling Britain in search of a new pal.

Currently staying in the Sanderson Hotel, Hilton will search London for a pal for the reality show, which will be broadcast on ITV2 later this year.

Explaining her reasons for looking for a new best friend in the UK, Hilton said she loved coming to London but hated not having her 'bestie' with her when she arrived.

'Everyone knows I love LA but London, watch out - I'm coming to town and bringing my fast-paced life with me.

'I'm in the UK all the time, but of course I can't bring all my friends, so I've decided to look for a new BFF across the pond.

'I need a best friend who is hot, who can keep up with me, and most of all, who is real and won't be a backstabber.

'I'm not leaving London until I find that amazing girl or guy who can meet the challenges of being my British bestie!'
