London is one of the world’s most expensive cities, and luxury living in London is easy if you can afford it. The capital has its well established wealthy neighborhoods, including Mayfair, Kensington and Belgravia, where a one bedroom apartment can cost several million. Other areas have attracted luxury buyers in recent years, including Battersea and the Docklands. But luxury living is about more than the apartment or house you live in, it’s about the accompanying lifestyle. London is also home to several of the world’s top hotels, priciest restaurants and most exclusive clubs. Areas of the capital such as Mayfair and St. James still have exclusive shops that provide bespoke tailoring, hand made shoes and hats, personalized toiletries and expensive haircuts. And luxury living in the capital is also about enjoying its year round program of posh social events, including Royal Ascot, Wimbledon and the Henley Regatta.
