Anti-poverty charity Toynbee Hall says the number of hookers arrested in the Olympic borough of Tower Hamlets this year has already exceeded the tally for all of 2011.
The group says 80 brothels have also been shut down in the five Olympic boroughs — Newham, Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Hackney and Waltham Forest — in the past year.
This compares to just 29 in all of London's 32 other boroughs.
Andrew Boff, a London Assembly member and spokesman for the Conservative group on the 2012 Games, said: "This increased activity has happened disproportionately in the Olympic boroughs."
Mr Boff said he supported police action where local residents had complained about anti-social behaviour, but added he was worried authorities were "clamping down on prostitution without these complaints".
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said a team had been set up in 2010 to address vice-related crime in the Olympic boroughs.
Host nations are known to crack down on groups like prostitutes and the homeless ahead of the Olympics as hundreds of thousands of international visitors fly in for the event.
At the last Olympics in Beijing in 2008, Chinese authorities expelled poor migrant workers and the homeless from the city prior to the Games. - www.thesun.co.uk
