Save for a glimpse through a window or briefly open door, many of us never come into direct contact with the capital’s most exclusive homes.
Though our collective notions of luxury are shifting, these tend to tick a few tried-and-tested boxes — think serious square footage, slick amenities and prime locations in a handful of choice neighbourhoods.
The same week that saw the resurfacing of London’s most expensive home — which achieved its dizzying £210 million price tag in 2020 — gave us more market volatility, made plainly conspicuous by a fluctuating pound.
With few winners at home, it’s a trend that will be closely watched by overseas buyers, who may find they can get more for their money at the top end of the London housing market.
We’ve rounded up ten luxury homes currently for sale, all asking for £10 million or more, from listed Georgian piles to striking contemporary homes.
