Paul McCartney has demanded photos of his London mansion be removed from Google's online Street Map feature.

The star was concerned for his safety after learning his home had been photographed for inclusion on the interactive site, which gives users panoramic views of city and residential streets around the world.

Security heads for the Beatles legend complained to bosses at Google - and now images of the star's townhouse in St John's Wood in North London have been wiped off the internet map.

A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "He was unsettled when he heard Google users could get a 360-degree view of the property."
