Most Expensive Place to Live in Britain
So who are these people? They’re a mix of oligarchs, trust-fund kids, tech entrepreneurs, and the very lucky few who bought their homes in the 1970s. They have private chefs, nannies, and cleaners. They don’t worry about the price of a flat white. Honestly, it’s a little bit alienating to walk through these streets.
I once walked down a street in Kensington and saw a sign for a parking space: £100,000. Not for the car, but for the painted rectangle of tarmac. I almost laughed, then I almost cried. It’s a different universe, where your car’s “home” costs more than most people’s actual human homes.
