If you want the single most expensive patch of earth in London, it’s a tie between Knightsbridge for flash, Mayfair for history, and Kensington Palace Gardens for sheer, jaw-dropping madness.
The average house price in these areas? Let’s just say you could buy a small Welsh castle for the same price. And then you’d have change left over for a dragon.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to live there to enjoy them. Go for a walk, window shop, and pretend you’re picking up a “starter” apartment for £3.5 million. It’s fun, it’s free, and it makes your own flat feel like a palatial bargain.
Besides, would you really want a postcode where your neighbors are world-class snobs and the milkman delivers in a Range Rover? No? Me neither. But it’s nice to know the grass is painfully, hilariously expensive over there.
Want my advice? Stick to a good coffee and a stroll through Hyde Park. It’s cheaper. And you get to fake it for free.
