Lord Archer picks penthouse for probation period

LORD ARCHER will live at his London penthouse and not at the family home in Cambridgeshire when he is released from jail on Monday, sources said today.

The disgraced peer, 63, has asked probation officers to register his multi-million pound Thames-side flat as his home.

The move was unexpected because Lady Archer spends nearly all her time at their country residence, the £1.5 million Old Vicarage at Grantchester, near Cambridge.
