Brothels in kingdom's housing capital (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

helsinki

'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Finland)

'brothels in kingdom's housing' is the wordplay.
'housing' says the answer is hidden in the clue (part of the clue houses the answer).
'HELSINKI' can be found hidden inside 'brothels in kingdoms'.

(Other definitions for helsinki that I've seen before include "Nineteen fifty two Olympics city" , "Finland's capital" , "Nordic capital" , "North European capital" , "foreign capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
